Special Zoning Meeting Aug 18th 7:30PM
Informational Meeting This Wednesday to Discuss an Amendment to the Southeast Community Plan
A very significant change to our neighborhood has been proposed for the area between Blackman and Elysian Fields along Trousdale Drive and on Harding from Trousdale east to Wauford Drive. This change would permanently affect the residential area of our neighborhood. The amendment is identified as 2021CP-012-002.
The Caldwell-Abbay Hall Neighborhood Association (CAHNA) Steering Committee learned about this proposed change to the Southeast Community Plan on August 10, 2021, from a neighbor in the affected area. The property owner for 444 Lynn Drive has requested this change.
Because this change affects our neighborhood and many more neighbors than just those in the proposed amendment area, CAHNA is hosting a virtual informational meeting on Wednesday, August 18, 2021, beginning promptly at 7:30 pm and ending promptly at 8:30 pm. We encourage everyone who can to attend this meeting. Again, this is an informational meeting.
