More than 30 citizens attended the Sachse City Council meeting on Monday, March 3, to voice concerns about the proposed rezoning of property at 5206 Ben Davis Road.

The land is currently designated as R-5, a multifamily residential classification. The council was considering rezoning the 1.81 acres to C-1 Neighborhood Shopping District.

The property is home to a temple for the American Imams Academy and the applicant requested the zoning change to accommodate the construction of a two-to-three-story expansion that would add classrooms and meeting rooms.
