The "LB" Local Business rezoning is compatible with the western commercial and southern industrial zoning and land uses. This site may be more difficult to develop as residentially zoned because it is adjacent to the U.S. 31 bypass and Brick Road. The following written commitments will ensure that the "LB" zone protects and serves the Villas of Lake Blackthorn and the surrounding area:.l. only uses that would serve the nearby residential areas rather than act as destination commercial for U.S. 31 vehicle commuters; 2. the northern area would be used only for offices and that the buffer yard requirements be met; 3. the City Engineer approves the access; 4. that the open space- landscaping be increased from 21% to 30% and a minimum 15 deciduous shade trees be added to the site. The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above decision are shown in the minutes of the public hearing, and will be forwarded to you at a later date to be made a part of this report.
