A request to rezone a portion of East Wilson Bridge Road has been approved by City Council to align with the City's Wilson Bridge Road Study recommendations. The Study recommends a mix of uses to foster economic growth in the area. After extensive public input, City Council adopted Wilson Bridge Corridor Zoning in 2016 to create new zoning districts and development standards for the Wilson Bridge Road corridor. 

Three separate pieces of legislation were considered to rezone a number of parcels on the south side of East Wilson Bridge Road. The Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) voted at its 10/28/2021 meeting to recommend denial of all three zoning requests. View 10/28/2021 MPC meeting agenda packet

City Council reviewed the issue at its December 6, 2021 meeting and voted to approve the rezoning and uphold the goals outlined in the long-term strategic plan of the City.
