Yes, that’s right. The Township board rejected that rezoning request. But why did they do to?

Was it the impassioned comments against it, by me and all the other neighbors last week?

Was it because the Ward Commissioner came out to the neighborhood to see it for himself on Monday, speaking with some of the residents and realizing that a rezoning would harm the community?

Was it because when properties within residential communities attempt to be rezoned to commercial a minute percentage of said rezoning actually occurs?

Was it because the man who requested this rezone (and it costs money to make a request) didn’t bother to show up last week or tonight.

Maybe it was little bit of all four reasons.
