Summary
A former light-industrial lot with an existing single-family home is being rezoned to residential so the owner can sell it — buyers currently can't get a mortgage on an M1-zoned property. The old commercial building on the site burned and was demolished in 2024; foundation removal is being handled separately by the Building Division.
