~'enior :Planner Kee concluded that Council _ has to decide whether. rezoning to C-B on this
small tract jeopardizes the in ent of maintaining the .:block of A-P and the intent of the land
use plan. Does rezoning this acre tract to C-B negatively impact Council's .policy as
reflected in its previous rezoning declsrons along this corridor? Seventeen surrounding
property owners were notiried of the rezoning request with no response recewed.

~lideo com-parry. Mr. Mc~ugal stated,. that such a use would not require 'a great amount of
parking and would allow Iand for the application of the Overlay Dlstr~ct. The adjacent Anco

contract of sale is contingent upon this rezoning request: Mr. McDugal requested ghat. the
proposed rezoning he approved by the Comnlissian.
Chairperson Hawthorne cIosecl the public hearing and" stated that -he ~v~s goi11~ to be
