Read the motion as recorded
“Councilman Kapoor moved to approve the rezoning request from Industrial District (IND) to Commercial Industrial District (CI) thereby assigning a zoning designation that is compatible with the surrounding properties and find that the request is reasonable, is in the public interest and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans in the following ways: the rezoning will, 1) support the adaptive reuse of the existing structure; and, 2) will allow for a broader range of uses that will support and serve the surrounding businesses, employees and residents.”
