Bear Island parcel rezoning controversy

Two lots under high-tension power lines were rezoned to mixed-use waterfront in 2023 — largely by accident during the mass housing element rezonings — which blocked the owner's vehicle storage use. Four neighbors asked the council to slow down; the council agreed, splitting the rezone out of the ordinance for a fresh planning commission process with broader community engagement.
