The rezoning is requested in order to <br /> have warehousing as a permitted use <br /> Crudup clarified that in a protected watershed <br /> the minimum lot size for all commercial uses is <br /> 80,000 square feet. This is a protected watershed <br /> overlay district. <br /> The request for rezoning was presented at public <br /> hearing on November 28. No opposition to the <br /> request was received at that time. <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval of <br /> rezoning the property from Community Commercial-3 <br /> to Existing Commercial-5. <br /> Yuhasz asked why the node was taken out of the <br /> Land Use Plan.
