It is important to ensure that the new <br />Ordinance is updated to accommodate new uses and trends in development. The goal <br />of the Zoning Ordinance is to be more user friendly and to guide future development <br />in a positive direction. These additional uses are similar in intensity to the other <br />primary uses in the "LI" and "GI" Districts. Therefore, with the development <br />standards as set forth by the Ordinance, this text amendment meets the intent of the <br />Ordinance and will clarify some of the permitted uses in the Industrial Districts. <br />The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above <br />decision are shown in the minutes of the public hearing, and will be forwarded to you at a later <br />date to be made a part of this report. <br />Sin rely, <br />~~~ <br />Robert W.
