-- MEMO
To: Zoning and Planning Commission
From: Nancy Anderson
Date: August 24, 2010
Subject: Rezoning
The owner of Jacob's Trading is not in favor of the rezoning from Industrial to Business
Park. One solution is to add language into the Comp Plan that at a certain point it will
be rezoned or reviewed for a rezoning. The Comprehensive Plan has the property
guided Business Park, so a new development will not be able to be constructed as an
industrial use. The staff will schedule a public hearing for the September meeting to
amend the text in the Comprehensive Plan.
