31 7 <br /> Commercial-5. <br /> The Planning Board will prepare a recommendation on the <br /> proposed amendment at its December 19, 1988 meeting. <br /> The Board of Commissioners will consider the proposal <br /> for decision on January 3, 1989. <br /> Commissioner Hartwell asked whet benefit this rezoning <br /> would have for the applicant. Crudup responded that <br /> there are existing commercial structures, warehouses, on <br /> the property. The use proposed by the applicant is not <br /> allowed in CC-3 but is allowed in EC-5. The rezoning <br /> would make it consistent with the Land Use Plan since <br /> the node was removed when the Joint Planning Area Land <br /> Use Plan was adopted in October 1986. <br /> Planning Board member, Steve Yuhasz, asked why the EC-5 <br /> designation was not assigned at the time the node was <br /> removed. Crudup responded that it was an oversight at <br /> the time and should have been EC-5. Yuhasz asked about <br /> buffer requirements. Crudup responded that the • <br /> landscape requirements are very similar for EC-5 and <br /> CC-3. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Marshall to refer Z-5-88 to the Planning Board for a <br /> recommendation to be brought back to the Board of Commissioners no <br /> sooner than January 3, 1989 . <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br /> b.
