The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
During Monday’s city council meeting, dozens of residents from the South Central Association of Neighbors spoke against proposed zoning changes which would allow for five story buildings to be developed in the area.
After nearly two hours of public testimony, informational presentations and debate on the topic, councilors narrowly rejected the ordinance in a 5-4 vote.
Those in favor of the ordinance said that it was a step toward promoting denser, climate-friendly housing in Salem that other neighborhoods have already taken. Those opposed said one size doesn’t fit all for city zoning.
Check out the story below for details on the discussion.
