HISTORY:
There has been no recent development history on the subject tract. A
little over a year ago Planning Com2nission initiated a zoning change
from LI (Light Industrial) to HC (Highway Commercial) because of
office development just north of the subject tract. In conjunction with
the zoning change, an amendment to the 1996 Comprehensive Master
Plan was also initiated, changing the land use from light
industrial/showroom to mixed use.
