The board continued three rezoning cases at its January 12 session, deferring Trust No. 7541207 Land Service Corporation's C2/I1 rezone at I-75 and Blanton Road to February 9 and pushing the Seven Oaks MPUD amendment to a date uncertain. A 248-unit multi-family conditional use request by Adventist Health System in Wesley Chapel drew 24 pieces of public opposition and a failed motion to deny before the board voted 5-0 to continue the item 60 days. Consent rezonings for 2G G LLC and the 77-acre Salem comprehensive plan amendment were approved without opposition.
