• • Planning and Zoning Minutes Meeting of 8/17/89 Page 4 of 5 CONSIDER REZONING REQIIEST R89-006. The request for Light Industrial zoning is for property located at 423 South 8th Street having present zoning as General Commercial. Mr. Albrecht informed the Commission of the purpose of the request for rezoning and also noted a rezoning to Light Industrial would increase the degree of setback non-conformity already existing in this building. Due to the small size of this tract and the lack of any nearby industrially zoned property, granting this request would have the effect of creating "Spot Zoning". In conclusion this request would be contrary to the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, increase the degree of non-conformity in al already non-conforming structure, potentially place a wide range of industrial activities in close proximity to a developed residential neighborhood and constitute spot zoning. Staff's recommendation is to deny this request. Mrs. Graves open the floor to anyone wishing to speak in favor or against the rezoning request.
