was on the portion in Chapel Hill Township. He continued that he felt t12 he incorrect zoning was simply a case of the property being overlooked. In regard to the idea that the property should be non-conforming, Mr. Hageman noted the following: (1) According to his reading, EC-5 had to be applied to existing commercial properties not in an activity node; (2) Every existing commercial use along Highway 86 in 1981 except Autowerks was given a commercial classification; (3) If the intent was to make Autowerks a non-conforming use, why did it not appear on the May 14, 1981 memorandum from the Planning Staff to the Planning Board. Mr. Hageman requested that the Planning Board recommend to the Board of Commissioners to honor Autowerks rezoning request. This request is consistent with the comprehensive plan although the area is not identified as an activity node, since the plan clearly contemplated EC-5 classifications outside of activity nodes. They also believe that this rezoning would not, in any way be a violation of the comprehensive plan. He concluded that he felt the failure to grant the rezoning request for Autowerks would constitute spot zoning. Chuck Miller , co-owner of Autowerks, indicated the owner of the property would be willing to sell the portion of the property on which Autowerks is located if the rezoning request is approved. He indicated that the desire is to make improvements to the business with one (6, 000 to 7, 000 square ft. ) building in order to accommodate more than one automobile at the same time.
