Front formed against multi-family housing

A unanimous vote by an advisory Seneca board, the city planning commission, rejects a zoning classification that would have allowed property along Dalton Road for multi-family housing units.  A number of residents of single-family homes in the vicinity of Dalton and WS 4th Street opposed Moses and Malkot’s request last night for an RM-16 zone.  Unless the city council sees it differently, the acreage there will remain R-10.  The application was also opposed by the city’s planning staff which opined that a planned development zone might be more conducive for that area.  But planned development, says Seneca’s Ed Halbig, does not appeal to the property owners.
