Strong winds and rough seas greeted the USS Ronald Reagan as it left the home of the U.S. 7th Fleet for what could be its last deployment out of Japan before a carrier swap next year.
City of Pullman councilmembers voted 6-1 to reject the proposed annexation of a 48.3-acre lot during a meeting Tuesday night.
About 15 residents made public comments at the last council meeting in opposition to the proposal. The lot, requested by Frank Motley of Two-GM and Bob Perdue of Nelson Partners, is near SE Johnson Road just south of SR 270 and north of Old Moscow Road.
The council also requested the Pullman Planning Commission reevaluate pre-zoned areas surrounding Pullman. The commission will then hold a public hearing to inform a recommendation for an updated pre-zone map.
The land was zoned as an R3 residential area in 2013 by the city. Councilmember Dan Records said land buyers usually take into consideration the pre-zone designation before purchasing lots for future development and projects.
