Mixed-use rezoning above Taste Bar & Grill

Summary

Neighbors near North Mart Plaza say the club brings weekend drag racing, noise until 2 a.m. and parking chaos on their residential streets. The rezoning would add dwellings above the club, and the council ultimately approved it 3-2 after debate over whether opposition was about legitimate concerns or the owners' race.
