Mr. Chapman displayed a Power Point slide which is on file in the City Clerk's Office. The petitioner is requesting a rezoning from Light Industrial to General Business District. On site is an existing sales and service building. To the north is vacant land, to the east is a parking lot and to the south and west are industrial businesses zoned LI Light Industrial. This comes to the Council with a favorable recommendation from the Area Plan Commission. Rezoning this property to General Business will allow for an existing business to continue operations and expand to include onsite sales of motor vehicles which is a use that is compatible to surrounding industrial uses.
