Z-7868 — Preston Plough restaurant parking lot
Description
Rezones land at 11th and Harvard from RS-3/CH to CH so a ~50-space parking lot can serve a proposed breakfast-and-lunch restaurant with a drive-thru. Four neighbors spoke against, citing traffic and emergency access, but the council approved first reading 9-0; final action is September 2.
Impact summary
Adds a commercial use at a primary intersection; residents fear daily traffic on their one-block street.
