2) He also claimed the developer did not contact the owner of Centre Place. This was shot down by the trustee of the church who said not only were there discussions but there will be more as the design finalizes.
The rezoning basically only changed the land-uses permitted. With the exception of sidewalk setback, the allowable building envelope and height remain the same as before.

Great info, as usual DM. Do you have anything on the other Market/Grafton development + Church lot?
