City commissioners on Tuesday chose not to rezone a 0.36-acre portion of the Acacia fraternity’s 2005 Hunting Ave. location after significant pushback from surrounding neighbors.
The fraternity applied for the space’s rezoning from low-density residential to residential with university fringe overlay, with the expressed plan of then expanding on the fraternity’s building to make space for 15 more fraternity members and adding a larger parking lot in the 0.36-acre portion of the tract.
The Manhattan Urban Area Planning Board held a public hearing Dec. 15 to consider the rezoning and failed to recommend approval after a split 3–3 vote, resulting in a recommendation to deny.
