RAVNICA — Ravnican planners approved a request Wednesday for a comprehensive plan amendment calling for a combination rezoning and density reallocation in a local special enterprise zone.
Developers hailed the approval, saying that it would support a special development initiative designed as part of an overall redistricting package of local building incentives and growth-oriented neighborhood renewal.
“I hail the approval,” said one developer.
Historical planning consultants told planners that the plan would be consistent with the city’s historical preservation plan, which is designed to preserve the city’s historical features by having consultants consult with planners prior to the approval of plans impacting the city’s special historical overlay district.
Local environmental protest groups criticized the approval, however, saying that the special enterprise zone density reallocation and rezoning comprehensive plan amendment would jeopardize the area’s environment.
“I criticize this approval. It will jeopardize the area’s environment,” said one local environmental protest group member.
In related news, Azorius council members mulled further action after tabling a measure introduced to delay a closure vote on the cessation of unfinished business.
“Oh, you work for a newspaper, that’s so awesome,” council spokeswoman Tina Gaffney told reporters.
