Overview
.
On August 15th the zoning code was amended to eliminate the reference of HB (Highway
Business) land use in the BP district, since there were no BP districts with the underlaying
land use of HB. Prior to August 15th, there were different uses allowed in the BP district if
the underlaying land use was HB. These 2 lots have a land use designation of CC and are
zoned BP

Highway 10 and City Liquor Store
The property is fully developed with two multi-tenant buildings. Current tenants include a
Holiday convenience store, pizza restaurant, hair stylist and bail bondsmen. There are several
vacant tenant spaces. Since the property is along Highway 10 at a busy signalized
intersection, staff feels it makes sense to change the zoning to C3 (Highway Commercial)
and land use to HB (Highway Business).
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed land
use amendment from CC to HB and zone change from BP to C3.
