After <br /> <br /> <br />Wayne Knox, Director of Community Development, gave a brief overview, the <br /> <br /> <br />Mayor opened the Public Hearing. Alexis Lee of 127 Sellers Street, Gloria <br /> <br /> <br />Hylton of 402 Second Street, J. B. Travis of 401 Fifth Street, Jean Wilson of <br /> <br /> <br />627 Fayette Street, Sidney Lee of 127 Sellers Street and Clarence Butler of 124 <br /> <br />Sellers Street all expressed their concerns about what type of business might <br /> <br />locate on this property as well as problems with traffic and were against the <br /> <br />rezomng. Earl Lawrence, property owner, indicated that because this property <br /> <br />is in a high traffic area that it fits for commercial use. There being no more <br /> <br />comments, the public hearing was closed. <br /> <br />Council members made comments indicating that because of prIor <br /> <br />experiences in this community with convenience stores, they would like for the <br /> <br />rezoning to be considered after Mr. Lawrence has a potential buyer who will <br /> <br />indicate the type of business they would put there. Vice Mayor Clark made a <br /> <br />motion for the issue to be tabled; the motion was duly seconded and carried by <br /> <br />the following vote, with all members voting: Vote 4-1. Yeas (4) - Clark, <br />Anderson, Ferrill, Lawson. Nays (1) - Reynolds. <br /> <br />Council considered adoption of a Resolution designating the Uptown area <br /> <br />as shown on Census Tract #3 as a revitalization area. The Resolution will allow <br /> <br />property owners the opportunity for VHDA financing of mixed-use, commercial- <br /> <br /> <br />residential projects in the City. This item was discussed in detail at Council's <br /> <br /> <br />work session, but was tabled in order to get additional information. Tiffani <br />
