Leon County commissioners and Tallahassee City Commissioners met Tuesday evening to talk about nine proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan.<\/p>\n

<\/a> One of the issues dealt with the Haute Headz salon off of Thomasville and Gadsden roads in Mid-Town.<\/p>\n

Property owner Marshall Cassedy wants to see the area in this section of Mid-Town changed from a residential preservation zone to one that would allow offices.<\/p>\n

Right now, it's home to the salon, but because of the residential preservation zone, if something should happen to the business a home would have to take it's place instead of another business.<\/p>\n

That's something Cassedy wants to change because he says the busy location is not ideal for a home.<\/p>\n

But opponents say that if someone wants to build offices there's plenty of room downtown.<\/p>\n

"We already have about a million and a half square-feet of vacant office space in the city and the county," said Tallahassee resident Darwin Gamble. "Help building more offices won't create more jobs."<\/p>\n

This issue was tabled at the meeting and will come up again June 26th. Until then both sides will continue to negotiate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That's almost strategic:<\/p>\n

"Help building more offices won't create more jobs."<\/blockquote>\n
