Some residents of Champaign’s so-called In-Town zoning districts say proposed city zoning rules could change the character of their neighborhoods for the worse.

Champaign officials will outine proposed zoning rule changes for the city's oldest residential area, Thursday at 6:30 PM at the Champaign Public Library. Many residents of the "In-Town" zoning districts hope the new zoning rules will help ensure that new apartment buildings in the area are compatible with existing housing.
