CC, Ordinance - ZC 94-10 September 19, 1994 Page 2 . (Planned Unit Development) were interim designations the City indicated for the intended land use as a business park. As such, the area identified in the Focus Area Study intended for the business park was rezoned PUD (Planned Unit Development) by the City Council with an underlying land use of LI (Light Industrial). During the latter part of 1993, the Business Park Task Force participated in drafting a business park zoning ordinance, which was presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration. Subsequently, on January 18, 1994, the City Council adopted a Business Park Zoning Ordinance which sets forth allowable uses and development standards for a business park. This ordinance was a follow-up to the Focus Area Study which recommended the City create a business park ordinance to be implemented in those areas intended for business park. SUMMARY OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING . The Planning Commission received comments from three parties on this matter. The first was from a resident in Sandpiper Estates who opposed the rezoning because of the possible uses allowed in the Business Park Ordinance. It was pointed out to the resident that the uses allowed in the business park zone are very similar to what could be developed under the present zoning and land use designation. Secondly, a letter from Guardian Angles was received expressing their support for the rezoning as the business park would be a complimentary neighbor to their future development plans. Lastly, Stewart Wilson, who owns approximately 80 acres that is directly affected by this rezoning, expressed his support for the rezoning to BP (Business Park) with one exception. Mr. Wilson asked if the proposed business park zoning line could be adjusted to extend directly west from the southwest corner of the County Government Center's property. This adjustment would provide for a larger area for residential development while maintaining the integrity ofthe business park district. The Planning Commission discussed the importance of establishing property for industrial development, therefore, unanimously supported the request to rezone the identified property to BP (Business Park) including Mr. Wilson's request to amend the proposed zoning line. STEERING COMMITTEE AND BUSINESS PARK TASK FORCE . Both of these groups discussed the need to preserve lands within the community for a well balanced mix of light, medium, and business park industrial opportunities. The Business Park Task Force in particular, has zc94-1O.council
