Chairman Shiflet closed the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. Eric Wilhite explained that "HC" and "C-2", for all intents and purposes are the same zoning, and development standards, setbacks, etc. are virtually the same. The Comprehensive Plan depicts retail/office uses in the area, and because this tract is located along a major thoroughfare, and a portion of the property is currently zoned for commercial, this zoning change would allow for development according to the intent Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval. Bill Schopper motioned to approve ZC 2006-21, seconded by Don Bowen. The motion carried (4-2). Brenda Cole and Steven Cooper voted against. Mark Haynes was absent. 10.

ZC 2006-09 PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM CLIFFORD LAND COMPANY TO APPROVE A ZONING CHANGE FROM "AG" AGRICULTURAL TO "RI-PD" RESIDENTIAL INFILL - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO BE KNOWN AS BRIAR POINTE VILLAS (LOCATED IN THE 8200 BLOCK OF MAIN ST. -1.66 ACRES).
