The purpose <br />of the "IP" Industrial Park District is to <br />provide a zoning classification that will more <br />closely match the development standards of the <br />Blackthorn Development Area and provide a <br />greater level of protection for the investment <br />already in place. It is the Staff's opinion <br />that this rezoning is in conformance with <br />these goals. <br />
