The Bishop Mayor and Town Council on Tuesday night voted 4 to 0 to approve a request by St. Aelred Catholic Church for a Conditional Use for its planned new church but voted 3 to 1 to deny a request for a variance to allow access from the church to Cemetery Road.
Only the Mayor and three Council members voted on the zoning requests, as Council Member Hudson Holder did not attend, though his name plate was on the table at the front of the room during the meeting and his chair was empty.
