Why This Vote Matters
The council voted in a divided 5-4 decision to delay ruling on neighbors' appeal of a home construction project at 301 Pacific Avenue for one week to allow both sides to negotiate. Neighbors Rod and Bonnie Stare Daley are challenging the Planning Commission's approval of a variance that would allow a single-family home to be built on the property. The one-week postponement gives the property owner and the appealing neighbors time to work out their differences before the council makes a final decision on whether the project can move forward. Councilmembers Thurmond, Bates, Griffin, and Rogers voted against the delay, preferring to decide the matter immediately.
