2. Sebesta Road Rezoning
The council will consider a request to change the zoning from Light Industrial to Suburban Commercial for about one acre at 1601 Sebesta Road on the north side of Sebesta across from Foxfire Drive. The new zoning would allow for more neighborhood commercial uses, such as retail sales.
