Zoning ordinance amendments OK’d
Council members on Tuesday approved several zoning ordinance amendments, a contract extension with the Macon County Soil and Water Conservation District and measures for the extensive Brush College Road project.
A new zoning classification, “Special Planned Development District” will be used to categorize areas greater than 10 acres for large-scale projects. City council members voted for a measure that will accommodate “multi-phased, integrated campus-like developments such as the Community Care Campus and educational institutions,” according to city documents.
Council members also approved three zoning amendments for St. Teresa High School at 2710 N. Water St., so that the property would have uniform zoning.
