The project began in 1991, when the City Council approved a rezoning of the north 17 acres to Planned Unit Development. The City Council shortly thereafter ordered a trunk utility feasibility report to study the Planned Unit Development and surrounding property. In 1992, the Planning Commission considered rezoning of the south 33 acres which was approved by the City Council. The entire fifty acre site was zoned Planned Unit Development with a land use of highway business. The City Council accepted a preliminary traffic impact study prepared by Maier Stewart and Associates, Inc. in August, 1992. Also in August, 1992, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on a development proposal to develop the fifty acre site. This public hearing was tabled due to the developer not providing enough information. In January, 1993, a traffic impact study was completed and reviewed by the City. In June, 1993, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the project which was proposed to be expanded in area to a 54 acre site. Action on this public hearing was also tabled
