In a surprising close vote of 4 to 3, Summit City Council voted down the Planning Board’s recommendation to re-zone the Franklin Place property to the R-5 residential zone.
The property owner’s architect presented a concept plan for an appropriate transit-style residential development. Residential neighbors to the East and North of the property were organized in their support of an R-5 designation.
Common Council members voting against the R-5 designation seek an alternative residential designation allowing for greater unit density on this property located next to the downtown (CRBD) and walking distance to the train station.
