The project that was a scaled-down evolution of previously rejected Sheffield Farms?\n\nWell, the Durham Planning Commission on Feb. 10 voted 9-0 against approval after hearing neighbors warn against the traffic and environmental threats posed by the project.\n\nDoes that mean this development is dead and gone, no more \"lipstick on a pig\" as one opponent called it?\n\nIt does not.\n\nThe Durham City Council isn't bound by recommendations of the Planning Commission. According to the Durham Rezoning Explorer, no date has been set yet for a City Council meeting about Morgan Farm. Stay tuned.\n\nWes Platt\nYour Neighborhood News Guy\n\n* * *\n\n## News from the Neighborhood\n\n  * Durham Mother Charged with Murder, Attempted Murder [WRAL]\n  * Suspect Fled After Vehicle Chase in Durham [CBS17]\n  * Durham Woman Prevails in Small Claims Against Duke Energy [ABC11]\n\n\n\nBecome a free subscriber to access the full article!\n\n SUBSCRIBE! \n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
