Two Council committees (Zoning and Land Use) approved the compromise Domino plan yesterday. Because of the modifications, the plan now goes back to the City Planning for a re-review to make sure the changes are in scope with the EIS. After that, it returns to the full Council sometime in July for a final vote. Here is a selection of reporting on the City Council’s approval of the Domino rezoning:
