At its July 25 meeting, the City Council voted to deny a Special Use Permit request for White Rock Chapel located at 5555 Celestial Road. When owners of more than 20 percent of the land within 200 feet of a proposed zoning change file a written protest with the Town, as was the case with the White Rock Chapel request, the request must be approved by a three-fourths vote of the Council, which is six out of seven members. The Council was not able to reach the supermajority approval needed for the proposed zoning request to pass in its current formHowever, the Council did vote to waive the one-year waiting period for refiling which allows the applicant the opportunity to bring forward a new request at any time.
