Pinckney, Hillcrest rezoning initiated

City commissioners unanimously agreed Tuesday to initiate the rezoning of several properties in the Pinckney and Hillcrest neighborhoods.

The rezonings were recommended as part of an area plan that studied the areas. The change in zoning is designed to better reflect the properties’ current use.

Commissioners also said they would likely extend a building permit moratorium that covers the affected properties until Jan. 31. The moratorium was set to expire Dec. 10, but the zonings won’t be finalized by then.
