Summary
Body
WHEREAS, at the request of several neighbors, a proposed Historic (H-1) overlay zone on properties in the Pensacola Park Area neighborhood is being considered and studied for initiation by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Council is considering enactment of a six-month moratorium on applications for a zone change and on applications for demolition permits for these properties to study and evaluate the initiation of H-1 zoning for these properties; and
