The HPNC has voted and the following motion has passed:

HPNC continues to support adherence to the City's existing zoning laws and the UDOD rules in Hyde Park Square, with limited variances. At the current time, HPNC has not taken a position on potential variances and exceptions in connection with any prospective development in Hyde Park Square. Any new applications will be considered on their own merits.

Tomorrow the Hyde Park Farmers Market is again on the square, from 09:30 AM to 01:00 PM. You can read the newsletter to see what is new this week

Please join us on Tuesday, September 9th, at 7:00 PM for our monthly meeting.
