No to the apartments, yes-- with conditions--to the bar

McAllen city commissioners unanimously turned down a request to rezone property on North Jackson Road to allow a developer to build 116 apartments on a 10-acre plot of land. The commission vote at their Monday evening meeting upheld the thumbs down given by the Planning & Zoning Commission in September. In laying out the issue, Planning Director Juli Rankin (no relation) told commissioners (minus an absent Aida Ramirez) that the apartments would not be “in character” with land uses around the land now.
