After a two-hour meeting, the Brookhaven Zoning Board of Appeals voted to defer a decision on a major apartment rezoning application until May 15, 2013.

Almost 150 people attended this past Wednesday night's meeting, the Brookhaven Post reports.

At issue is a proposed development on Peachtree Road near Historic Brookhaven. The Reporter Newspapers said the property owner, Teresa Tomlinson, wants to develop the roughly two-acre site, which lies on the DeKalb-Fulton line, into a six-story, 176-unit complex.
