12-23-1(#7) of the Zoning Ordinance, only
limited warehousing is permitted within the
Commercial zone, which is defined as 20% of
the floor area of the building. If the applicant
wishes to proceed with this design at 80%

simply revise the notations on the site plan.
However, the only way in which to allow a
higher percentage of warehouse would be
through a rezoning to "LI" Light Industrial.
