the future Barron Road overpass. The rezoning request is in compliance with the Land Use Plan.

Civic Pride Citizens benefit from well-planned, attractive residential and
commercial areas, and from preserving historic areas.
The Land Use Plan reflects the area extending from the future Barron Road intersection to the Lick
Creek tributary as regional retail.
Item Background: The area was annexed into the City Limits in 1983.. At one time, a rezoning to
C-1 was approved. to allow the continuation of a flea market, .which had been placed on the
property shortly after annexation in violation of City standards. The necessary steps to render the
use legitimate were abandoned, and the zoning reverted to A-0 a few years ago.

property develops.

1. The remaining. acreage be labeled as lots or reserve tracts.
2. A note be added to the plat stating that FEMA's hydraulic study be continued upstream to
determine the 1.00 year floodplain at such time when either lot 2, block 1 or the remaining
acreage to the north. is final platted.
3. The 100 year floodplain note on the plat be revised since it is unknown whether floodplain
exists on lot 2, block 1 or the remaining acreage to the north.
