LEEDS On Tuesday, July 6, the Leeds City Council denied a request by High Tide Oil Company to rezone a property located at Dunnavant Road after hearing from multiple residents who opposed the resolution.
A public hearing was held for the resolution, which would have rezoned the property at 8417 Dunnavant Road from R-2 Single Family District to I-2 Heavy Industrial District.
Prior to last night’s meeting, the request was brought up but tabled when it was found that notifications had not been sent out to residents living on Dunnavant Road. At the June 9 meeting, several residents spoke against the resolution then, citing potential issues with noise and pollution.
