As the city continues to expand, so does the pressure to develop in the region’s most sensitive areas.
A Council committee this week approved a rezoning application that would allow an athletic facility in the watershed.
Councilors want a public meeting and a downstream analysis before approving a commercial development in the Falls Lake watershed.
Committee members are concerned that allowing commercial development in the watershed could open door for more, less responsible development.
If approved by the City Council, a new gym in the Falls Lake watershed could open the door for more development.
