  • George Shep­herd, of Trout­man Pep­per Locke, rep­res­ent­ing Treaty Oak, said the pro­posed edit was inten­ded to elim­in­ate ambi­gu­ity about whether the project’s pre­vi­ously approved rezon­ing qual­i­fied for the excep­tion.
  • “It’s to make clear that our rezon­ing applic­a­tion, which was approved, falls under that excep­tion,” Shep­herd said.
