Councilman Mark Squilla says questions remain. Without an addition to council's pre-summer calendar, the legislation will have to wait until fall. But does that mean the Central Delaware will go without extra zoning rules until then? Not necessarily.
Councilman Mark Squilla said he wanted to get comment from "stakeholders" before introducing the legislation. An additional meeting on the city council calendar means there can still be a vote before summer recess and the expiration of the interim zoning overlay.
But the person who oversaw the development of the Master Plan for the Central Delaware seems comfortable. And the top city planner who worked on the overlay says it supports the master plan without being redundant or overstepping the bounds of zoning.
