Denied.

Ordinance Z26124 to rezone 10.0 acres from R1 single-family residential to C3 general commercial at 6910 Elderberry Drive for a QuickTrip gas station and convenience store. Applicant requested a deferral/tabling; council proceeded with a do-pass motion which failed. Vote was 7 no, 0 yes, 1 abstention, effectively denying the rezoning. Council members cited lack of neighbor engagement, proximity to residential (canopy ~80 feet from backyards), traffic/safety, and that intensive use would harm development of the remaining acreage at the interchange.
