The City's goal in creating this <br />new district is to preserve its limited industrially-zoned property for uses requiring infrastructure that is <br />either in place, readily available, or anticipated. Less intensive uses would be relegated to specific areas of <br />the community without infrastructure. <br />In the development of the ordinance, the prime area considered for the I-3 zone was the industrial <br />developments along Jarvis, in the SE corner of the city. These areas, industrial in character, are outside of <br />the urban services district, and are not anticipated to receive city water and sewer in the latest <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />The new ordinance allows all the uses (with the exception of water and sewer treatment) that were <br />allowed in the I-1 and I-2 zoning district. Property owners impacted by the proposed rezoning should <br />see no change at all. <br />Comprehensive Plan <br />The rezoning remains consistent with the 2004 Comprehensive Plan. <br />Public Comment <br />During the public hearing, a property owner questioned the impact to his property. His property being <br />currently zoned C-3, there will be no change. <br />Planning Commission Comments <br />Having recently reviewed the Ordinance, Commissioners had no concerns with the proposed rezoning. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />None <br />C:\Documents and Settings\XPMC1ser\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK66\ZC 10-07 Il I2 SR to CC 8-16-10 (2).doc <br />
