A Continuation of a Joint Public Hearing of the City Council and Planning Board was held in the Council Chamber on Thursday, October 18, 2001 at 7:00 P.M. for the purpose of discussing a proposed zoning amendment to consider rezoning undeveloped land west of Highland Avenue from R-1 to R-C. Notice of this meeting was posted on October 5, 2002 at 11:46 A.M., and advertised in the Salem Evening News on October 11, 2001.
Councillors Hayes, Furey, and LaCava were absent.
President Joan B. Lovely presided.
President Lovely called upon Councillor Driscoll to explain the proposed amendment and the timetable involved. Councillor Driscoll explained the zoning process, and how the hearings are only a first step. Once the hearings are closed, then the Planning Board will review the matter, and send a recommendation back to the City Council. Following the recommendation, the City Council will then decide whether to enact an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance.
Councillor Harvey questioned the activity going on at the Steadman project, and asked why this was happening when we are in the middle of a zoning project. He also stated that once a proposed zoning amendment has been advertised, applications for permits and projects should not be accepted by the City until the zoning issue has been finalized. Attorney Keenan responded that this application had been filed prior to advertising of this hearing
