As the new year begins, many homeowners have petitioned to downzone 35 Benton Stephens lots to R-1 or R-2, thus securing these properties for single-family housing. The properties include owner-occupied and rental homes throughout the neighborhood. In February, the Columbia City Council will review the Planning and Zoning Commission's unanimous approval. Stay tuned!
