James Maclin is an attorney at Harris Shelton. He is also a member of the board of directors of Memphis Fourth Estate Inc., the 501(c)3 nonprofit that owns The Daily Memphian. The views expressed are his own.
“The best version of this rewrite would do two things at once: Modernize Memphis’ land use rules and protect the public’s trust in the process. That means clear notice, clear explanations, clear transition rules, and clear lines of decision-making.”
