Chris joins FOX 13 after spending seven-and-a-half years at KSNW, the NBC affiliate in Wichita, Kansas, where he served as a bureau reporter, multimedia journalist and eventually Sports Director.
Community members filled the room, showing their support of keeping the Redwood Drive-In Theatre and Swap Meet open."It's been up for like 30 years plus," he said."It's my family business.""It's a priority to me, man. Definitely a priority," said Medina.Beto Conejo with West Temple Media is also a regular vendor at the swap meet.
"I started my business there too, essentially the way that many people do, which is to, you know, build my brand, build my clientele," said Conejo."We have 500 to 700 vendors come out every weekend, every Sunday specifically that come out and, you know, essentially make this a thriving economy here in West Valley City," said Conejo.The city's planning commission discussed the site plans, including one that was unveiled Wednesday night.
The latest site plan calls for 300 total units, including 40 condos, 244 townhomes and 16 single-family units, as well as 214 parking stalls."I just feel like this isn't the appropriate time to change the zoning of this property," said Commissioner Harold Woodruff. That was met by applause from those who turned out. Woodruff later stated that he does feel this property will change to something else later on."I think this developer will build a very good project. People won't agree with it; I'm glad the single-family homes were put back in," Wood said.While those who turned out expressed disappointment and frustration as the meeting was ending, Medina said the fight doesn't stop here.
"Just do the best we can and, like, let people know how important this place is to us and what we really got here and what we don't want it to be rezoned as," said Medina.Three years ago, a different developer also tried to rezone the property. However, the developer eventually withdrew their application.
