Tonight’s meeting at the Zoning Hearing Board has been cancelled, according to Geoffrey Knight, the city’s zoning officer.
The cancellation was due to an error the city made in an advertisement announcing the meeting. The advertisement, required by law to be distributed two weeks before the meeting, mistakenly printed the date as July 17 instead of June 17.
Tonight’s meeting would have included a ruling on an application from Bethel AME Church, regarding a special exception to use a vacant lot the church owns for commercial parking. (You can read our comment on the application and the lot’s history here.)
Knight said no date has been set yet for the rescheduled hearing. The next Zoning Hearing Board meeting on the calendar is July 22. But Knight said a special meeting may be scheduled for an earlier date. “We’re trying to arrange a meeting, if all parties are amenable, in the next few weeks,” he said.
