What happened
The City Planning Commission recommended zoning changes to restrict industrial activity at the Kronos concrete plant site. The commission voted on October 22 to change the zoning from heavy to light industrial, which excludes concrete plants but allows warehouses. The City Council will soon consider this rezoning measure, despite objections from Crown Enterprises.

Why it matters
The zoning change limits the expansion and operation of the concrete mixing facility. This action follows reports that city officials previously helped Crown Enterprises obtain property and provided latitude when Kronos violated environmental laws.
