As a farewell flipoff, certain council members have decided to use their privilege to pass several controversial zoning changes which were either opposed by their constituents, or at the very least, still being fleshed out.
Council members singlehandedly passing controversial spot zoning changes is not historically unusual, however the practice has slowed in recent years since Councilman Mariano went to jail, and John Street's office was bugged.
Fortunately, council recently moved to okay the new zoning code, so this proactice should again fall by the wayside. One would think with a brand new code there would be little reason to need, and less justification of, spot zoning changes. Although in this case, no justification was offered.
