Lindeman Drive Rezoning Cases (Case #26Z02)
Four properties at 1765, 1770, 1800, and 1805 Lindeman Dr were scheduled for board discussion. What's decided here could shape what can be built on that stretch of Lindeman Drive.

Rezoning of 2725-2727 Columbus Avenue to City Light Industrial
A 2.94-acre industrial property annexed in 2003 still carries township zoning. Switching it to city Light Industrial would align it with the Clark County Comprehensive Plan and let the owner make improvements like signage under city rules. The catch: it's in a FEMA floodplain, so future development faces extra regulatory hurdles.
