Staff <br /> provided a list of potential sites along Highways 10 and 169 that would be zoned <br /> appropriately for such a use. However, the property owner identified and is interested in <br /> purchasing a site in Mulvaney Point which is currently zoned BP Business Park with an <br /> underlying land use of Light Industrial. Motor vehicle repair shops are not allowed either as <br /> a Permitted or a Conditional Use in that zoning district. <br /> The applicant's representative,PlanScape Partners,met with the Planning Commission at the <br /> May work session to determine the most appropriate method of relocating ABRA to this <br /> site.

The Planning Commission felt that the most appropriate method to utilize <br /> would be amending the text. <br /> • <br />
