Mentelle Neighborhood residents are invited to a meeting at Blue Door Smokehouse at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 7, to hear about the Schilling estate’s proposal to rezone 706 Aurora Ave. (the first property on the south side of Aurora) from residential (R1) to business (B1) to facilitate a major expansion of Blue Door and its parking. The meeting has been called by Blue Door’s owners and their lawyer.
The request for rezoning was filed Monday and the city Planning Commission could act on the proposal within four-to-eight weeks.
After the meeting at Blue Door, neighbors are invited to gather at 716 Aurora, the home of Jim and Sarah Ryder, for chili and to talk about what they’ve heard, what they think about it and next steps.
