A zoning change to make way for a proposed 66-unit apartment complex received a recommendation from Rochester’s Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday, despite opposition from neighbors.
“People are going to end up having cars driving in and out 24 hours a day,” said Kevin Lucier, a neighbor of the proposed project for north of 26th Street Northeast, near East Circle Drive.
He said the existing commercial designation limits business hours, which includes the Kwik Trip convenience store next to the site, adding that other development with less traffic would be a better fit.
