Redeemer Community Church Rezoning

At a glance

• What: rezoning case ZAC2026-08005 for a new church campus (Redeemer Community Church).
• Where it stands: the Planning and Zoning Committee recommended approval on October 13 (voice vote); the October 27 Council agenda set a public hearing for November 24 on first reading. Outcomes of the committee and Council votes are unknown.
• Next: public hearing on November 24 (the date follows the Council's standing Tuesday schedule, which is inferred; a Thanksgiving-week change has not been verified).

Details

• The sources describe the zoning change differently: the committee agenda says QMU-H and B-6 to C-2, while the Council agenda item says QMU-H to QC-2. Which is correct was not resolved.
• Both descriptions come from agendas only; no minutes exist.
• No minutes have been posted, so outcomes are unknown.
• The captions of the October 27 meeting have the clerk reading the property owner as Dolomite Community Church at McClellan Road, which differs from the church name in the agenda; the name is unresolved.
