3 <br /> Commissioners without recommendation. Some Planning <br /> Board members expressed dissatisfaction with either <br /> approving or denying the request. <br /> A related proposal to amend the Zoning Ordinance text <br /> is also being considered. That amendment, if approved, <br /> would permit mail order houses in commercial zoning <br /> districts. The amendment would permit Mr. Kennedy to <br /> continue his school bus parts mail order business. <br /> If the Land Use Element amendment is denied by the <br /> Board of Commissioners, the Board may proceed with <br /> rezoning of the Kennedy tract from GC-4 (General <br /> Commercial) to EC-5 (Existing Commercial) to provide <br /> consistency between the Land Use Element and <br /> the Zoning Ordinance. <br /> A public hearing on the rezoning of the Kennedy tract <br /> (as well as other parcels in Eno Township) was held on <br /> August 22, 1988. On December 20, 1988, the Board <br /> approved the rezoning proposals except for the Kennedy <br /> tract. Since a public hearing has been conducted on <br /> the proposal, action on the rezoning from GC-4 to EC-5 <br /> may be taken. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends denial of the <br /> proposed Land Use Element amendment. The <br /> Administration further recommends that the Kennedy <br /> tract be rezoned from GC-4 to EC-5 as proposed at the <br /> August 22, 1988 public hearing. <br /> The rezoning, coupled with approval of a proposed <br /> amendment to the permitted use table (Retail Trade) , <br /> would permit the applicant to continue his mail order <br /> operation. <br /> DK2:ENO2ABS.DOC <br />
