The city is proposing to rezone scores of properties in east Urbana to prevent owners from replacing older homes with small apartment buildings.
The Urbana Plan Commission will consider a wide-ranging proposal to downzone 154 properties at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the City Building, 400 S. Vine St.
A Champaign real estate professional, who with his family owns a house that would be rezoned, said he thinks the proposed downzonings will discourage investment in Urbana. But a leader of an organization in the neighborhood says most residents want the changes.
Discuss.
