Item 90 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This is a public hearing on terminating a restrictive covenant tied to a 1980 zoning case on two properties along Springdale Road, just off East MLK Jr. Boulevard in the Fort Branch watershed. Restrictive covenants like this one layer extra conditions on top of a property's zoning, so lifting it clears the way for multifamily development on land owned by David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church. Both city staff and the Planning Commission recommend granting the termination.
