Staff supports the <br />development but the change from General Commercial (GC) and Large Lot <br />Residential (LL) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) would have long <br />range impact on the future development of this area. <br /> <br />Actions required by <br />the Commission: <br /> <br />· Recommend to Council approval of this rezone request from <br />General Commercial (GC) and Large Lot Residential (LL) to <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD). <br />· Recommend to Council denial of this rezone request from General <br />Commercial (GC) and Large Lot Residential (LL) to Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD). <br />· Table this item for further consideration by the Commission. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT A <br />
