• <br />• <br />MEMORANDUM <br />May 7, 1982 <br />T0: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Planning and Zoning Commission <br />i <br />SUBJECT: Rezoning Request for 19.892 Acres on West Main Street <br />On May 6, 1982, Planning and Zoning met to consider an application <br />for rezoning a 19.892 acre tract on West Main from Commercial to Industrial <br />with Special Use Permit to allow storage and repair of oceanic containers. <br />Mr. Jerry Parish, prospective purchaser, presented the request and explained <br />his plans for use of the property as a container yard. <br />Subject property lies just south of the City's public works facility, <br />and across West Main diagonally from property presently in use as a container <br />facility. <br />Planning and Zoning has endeavored to limit the placement of container <br />yards to the immediateport area and the northeast quadrant of the City, with <br />perhaps one other out-of-the-way area to be used if needed. We consider the <br />• location of subject property inappropriate for use as a container yard, due <br />to its close proximity to our downtown area. Our preliminary recommendation <br />is that such request for rezoning be denied. <br />We wish to call a joint public hearing to consider this request. <br />Respectfully, <br />Pat Muston, Chairman <br />• <br />PM/cb <br /> <br />
