(03 -156) Staff Planner Reeves presented the Staff Report. Ms. Reeves stated that staff recommends approval of the rezoning which consists of 2.713 acres and is currently zoned as A -O, Agricultural Open, with a portion of the tract currently developed as a restaurant. Ms. Reeves explained that the 30/60 Area Plan depicts this area as a mix of uses with the expectation of commercial rezoning requests of lower intensity and should emphasize an eventual consolidation of properties. However, more recently, the Mixed - Use category was removed from the Land Use Plan and replaced with the Planned Development designation. Staff believes this proposal is in line with the 30/60 Area Plan and the Planned Development Land Use category. Additionally, at the April 17 Planning and Zoning Workshop, staff requested the Commission's input on the possibility of rezoning the subject property to C -1 General Commercial. Event though specific guidance for rezoning the property was not conveyed by the Commission, the general consensus for restaurant use at this location was favorable. Chairman Floyd opened the public hearing. Chuck Manning, the owner of C &J Barbecue spoke in favor of the request. He stated that his intent is to rebuild/remodel and expand on the current site which will also improve traffic conditions, provide better accommodations for his customers and improve the aesthetics of the area. Chairman Floyd closed the public hearing. Commissioner Trapani motioned to approve the rezoning. Commissioner Williams seconded the motion which carried unanimously, 5 to 0. FOR: Floyd, Trapani, White, Shafer and Williams. AGAINST: None ABSENT: Hall and McMath.
