Excerpt:
The Islamic Center of Williamson County has withdrawn its application for the rezoning of property on Wilson Pike.
In an email to Brentwood Planning Director Jeff Dobson, center trustee Mohammad Fazilia stated the decision was made "with regret and a heavy heart."
The rezoning was due to be on Monday night's City Commission agenda for its second and final reading and vote.
"If you can convey to all that we just wanted something for ourselves where we could have gone with our families to worship," Fazilia wrote, a place that would be "safe and secure for us."
