City Planning Commission says NO PORKY'S!

In three unanimous votes, the city's planning commission votes to deny Porky's applications for rezoning, conditional use permit (CUP), and site plan review.

The city planning staff, Tara Beard, shared that she has received "dozens" of letters in opposition to Porky's and just a handful in favor of the proposal.

She also shared that the city's planning staff calls their handling of the accidental rezoning of the 2nd Police Precinct their "biggest mistake." The rezoning of the 2nd Precinct allowed the application for Porky's to proceed. The city staff has their eyes on the ball this time and Neighbors Against Porky's is convinced they will continue to fight the development.

Remember though, Porky's can still appeal the decision and Paul Ostrow likely has already shown Porky's what paper work to fill out.
