The Chapel Hill Town Council’s vote on a controversial plan to rezone 190 acres surrounding the Ephesus Church-Fordham Boulevard intersection has been postponed.

The Council was scheduled to meet Thursday, but a malfunction of the television broadcast equipment at the Southern Human Services Center led town leaders to reschedule.

The entire agenda from Thursday’s meeting will be moved to Monday, April 21, at which time the council will hold a public hearing on the budget and consider approving the Ephesus-Fordham plan. A public hearing previously planned for Monday will be moved to Wednesday, April 23.
