WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission filed with the Council on February 19, 2021, its decision dated February 17, 2021 (the “Decision”), on the Application;

 

                     WHEREAS, the Application is related to application C 200178 ZMQ (Pre. L.U. No. 735), a zoning map amendment to change an R4 zoning district with a C2-2 commercial overlay to an R7A zoning district with a C2-3 commercial overlay;
