A repesentative of the Planning Staff <br /> stated that the property never had been in the <br /> activity node. The Commissioners asked for further <br /> clarification on the history of the node. <br /> Mr. Hogue also stated that the EC-5 zoning district <br /> was not consistent with Mr. Kennedy's business and <br /> would not permit expansion. The Board asked staff to <br /> investigate possible amendments to the table of <br /> permitted uses for the EC-5 district which would <br /> address these concerns. <br /> The Planning Staff has responded to the Commissioners <br /> concerns through the attached 12-29-88 memorandum to <br /> the County Manager. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Receive as information. <br />
