The Council's Zoning and Planning Committee yesterday unanimously approved the variance requests of CVI, the family supportive housing project of PPL/Sabathani/Turning Point (to be located at Franklin and Elliot). In doing so, the committee denied the appeal of Ventura Village, Inc., the neighborhood group in North Phillips. As many folks know, a variance from the 1/4 mile spacing requirement for "supportive housing" was one of the variance requests drawing particular ire from the neighborhood group.
I attended part of the hearing and I'm impressed by the new council members and their committment to openness, fairness, and full participation. I get a sense of good things to come. We'll see.
