Rayfield’s reversal raised the ire of fellow council members William L. Ossenmacher and Harold R. Kaufman, who viewed the move as an “11th-hour” negotiating tactic.
The council approved an ordinance that amends the city’s General Plan to zone the entire 25-acre parcel for residential use while allowing nearby St. Edward’s Church to buy 2.5 acres that it will use for parking and to expand its on-site school.
