The <br />building housing the operation is on the I -1 zoned portion of the aforementioned property while <br />the septic and parking areas supporting the business are located within the R -1 zoned portion of <br />property. <br />The applicants are concerned over their continued ability to have septic and parking <br />supporting the existing industrial operation on the residentially zoned portion of the subject <br />property. They are seeking to rectify the problem by extending the existing industrial zoning and <br />ensure their perpetual ability to maintain the existing infrastructure necessary for the business. <br />The property subject to this petition is located within the Commercial Industrial <br />Transition Activity Node as denoted on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan <br />and the Urban Designated Area as denoted on the Growth Management System Map. <br />1, <br />
