Rankin <br /> <br />OPEN PUBLIC HEARING <br /> <br />Mayor Malone opened the public hearing at 6:30 P.M. <br /> <br />REVIEW BY STAFF <br /> <br />Director of Planning Guy Rankin reviewed the summary regarding the rezoning request submitted <br />by Earl W. Wilburn, (trustee), and he answered questions from Council. (Earl Wilburn was in <br />the chambers to answer questions if Council needed clarifications.) <br /> <br />PUBLIC INPUT <br /> <br />Mr. Charles Schultz, 3814 Maple Wood, La Porte, spoke to Council stating he is against the <br />rezoning request. Mr. Schultz said he lives on the property that backs up to the acreage, and he <br />is of the opinion the rezoning would cause his property value to go down and also congest the <br />area. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION BY PLANNING & ZONING <br /> <br />The Planning & Zoning Commission has recommended approval of Rezone Request #R96-o08. <br />Planning Director Guy Rankin recommended the recommendation of The Planning & Zoning <br />Commission be upheld and the acreage be rezoned to Neighborhood Commercial (NC). Mr. <br />Rankin said he understood the concerns of the citizen, but Neighborhood Commercial is not an <br />intense use such as General Commercial. He does not think this will have an impact as this is <br />so far removed from the neighborhood. <br /> <br />CWSE PUBLIC HEARING <br /> <br />Mayor Malone closed the public hearing at 6:39 P. M. <br />
