• RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission support the business park concept and encourage commercial development in accordance with the business park standards. Furthermore, if there are certain sections of the business park zoning ordinance which need to be amended, this action should be considered in place of an actual rezoning of the property. Therefore, it is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council denial of the following: A. Amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan changing approximately 13 acres from LI (Light Industrial) to HB (Highway Business) based on the following: 1. The current land use designation of LI (Light Industrial) allows for the implementation of the current zoning designation of BP (Business Park) which permits as a Conditional Use Permit retail sales that would complement the business park area. Therefore, rezoning is not necessary to accomplish the commercial desires of • the applicant. 2. The City has identified a need to preserve property for industrial development and by amending the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map to Highway Business, this would only eliminate industrial land use from the City's inventory. B. Rezoning of approximately 13 acres from BP (Business Park) to C3 (Highway Commercial) based on the following: 1. The times and conditions have not changed enough to warrant a rezoning at this point in time. 2. The current Business Park Zoning Ordinance allows for a certain amount of commercial activity; therefore, the rezoning would be inconsistent with the standards and concept of a business park. 3. The Planning Commission and City Council have both recommended approving a rezoning of the subject property to a Business Park Zoning District which is • consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map;
