Planners will hold a public meeting to discuss a proposed zone change at 407-409 31st Avenue South and a related amendment to the Green Hills-Midtown Community Plan. That meeting will begin at 6 pm at Metro Schools’ Martin Professional Development Center at 2400 Fairfax Avenue next to Eakin Elementary School.
Midtown rezoning
Public discussions of a proposed comprehensive rezoning in Midtown (the area bounded, approximately, by I-40 to the east, Broadway/21st Avenue/West End to the south, I-440 to the west and Charlotte Avenue to the north) will continue from 11:30 am – 1 pm and 4 – 6 pm on May 22 at the Metro Parks board room, 2565 Park Plaza.
