The Fayetteville

City Council has approved a commercial rezoning for property north of

the Flash Foods convenience store on North Jeff Davis Drive.

The property's

zoning was changed to C-1, which is in keeping with the "mixed use"

concept the area has been earmarked for with the city's future land use

map, said director of planning and zoning Jahnee Prince.

Mayor Ken Steele

said the zoning "is a downzone." The property is currently undeveloped.

"The city

intends to protect the integrity of Jeff Davis Drive," Steele said,

noting that the area is home to many offices.

The property

had previously been zoned commercial, and the current property owners

agreed to the rezoning, which was initiated by city staff to get the property

in compliance with the future land use map, Prince said.
