Ms. Szklarski <br />stated that currently this property was the western boundary of the <br />Central Business Zoning District. However, the underlying land use of <br />the property is Highway Business. Therefore, the requested zone change <br />would be consistent with the land use map. Ms. Szklarski stated that <br />if the property is rezoned, it would create a nonconforming lot and <br />structure, therefore, no additions to the structure could be approved <br />without first obtaining a variance.
