Body

The applicant is requesting the rezoning in order to allow retail uses in the building that is currently vacant.  The building was originally built for use as a pharmacy and has most recently been used as an office.  When the building was built, the property was zoned Light Manufacturing (M-L) under the old zoning ordinance.  When the new zoning ordinance was adopted, the zoning changed to IG which does not permit retail uses.  The Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning at their April meeting.  See attached staff report for more information.
