liRt of 48 ndditionnl purmltl~d u=ec be ~dd~d un~~r the Industrial

ordinance, be deleted.
MINIMUM LOT FRONTAGE (HIDTH) fOR GUEST \lOUSES Af-'ENDED TO 105 FEET.
[lnnner Lee Kirchhoff outlined the staff recommendation for
amending the minimum lot frontage (width) for the construction of II
quoct house by ~~cre.1sing the minimum frontage f(om 75', as is
pres~ntly r~quircd, to 105'. In lInswer to Commissioner Kruse, Mr.
Virta explained thaL staff has considered the viability of handling
this matter by setback requiremcntn, however, with 7-1/2 ft. sideya~d
setbacks, a problem occurs in providing accoSS to the rear of lots that
arc only 75 ft. wide, therefore, he recommends that ð minimum of 105'
frontage he required.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Pister and
carried 4/1, with Commissioner Kruse opposed, that the aforementioned
3mcndment to the minimum lot frontage for guest houses, be approved.
REGULATIONS RE FLOOR AREA IN ~RT" DISTRICT TO REMAIN AS IS - NO ACTION
TAKF.N
There was a bricf discussion regarding Mrs. Kirchhoff's statement
that staff feels t~c regulations regardin~ floor area in the "RT"
district, as outlined within the proposed ordinðncc, arc reasonðblc,
adding that, becÐus~ any l3rge hotel chain will probably covor more

area than fivo acres they require more height than allowable undcr the
"RT" district, therefor~, they would probably seek a "PUD". Upon
conclusion of the discussion, Chairman Wimer noted that it w~s the
consensus of tho Board that there was no need to amend this particular
section of tho proposed ordinanco ðnd no nctlon was taken.
"I" DISTRICT AND DEFINITIONS AMENDED BY CHA~CING TERM "JUNKYARD" TO
"RECYCLrNC CENTER"
Commissioner pistor moved, seconded by Commissioner Drown and
carried unðnimously, that the proposed ordinance be nmendcd by changing
the term "junkyard" within the "I" District and the definitions to
~recycling center", as recommended by the staff.
PROVISIONAL USE AND VARrANCE PET IT TONS AND APPf.ALS TO ADMINISTRATIVE
DECISIONS TO !.>E IIF.MW BY A BOARD OF ZONINC APPEALS
County Attorney Pickworth outlined his recommendations regarding a
proposal to include the power to hear provisional use petitions by the
Board of Zoning Appeals within the proposed ordin~nc~, as outlined
fully within his memorandum to the Board, dated January 4, 1982, a copy
of which was m~rked as Exhibit "B" and submitted for file with the
Clerk. He explained the options that the DCC has regarding this
matter, including the provision whcreby the BCC could ret~in the final
administrative authority over provisional uees if it so chose,
suggcRtlng th~t, if this Is the intent of the Bo~rd, the present
propoGal be amended by deleting the requircment for a public hearing
before the CAPC for provisional usa petitions and allowing for CAPC
review in its stead. He explained that this would rcduce tho numbcr of

required hearings for It provisional use by one, with tho eAPC report
considered a~ ~ mðtter of record durinq the initial Board of Zoning
^PP~.:I15 (BZA) heðrlnq. He 9~id t~At Chapter ~7-l216, Specið1 ^ct~,
Laws of Flori~~, require th.:lt the aZA be the rin~l authority regarding
variance pctitions and appeals to adminiatrative decisions, therefore,
ðnyono aggrieved by these aZA decisions must appeal by filing writ of
certior~ri to the Circuit Court.
Thio w~s discussed at lenqth, during which Commissioner Kruse
stated that, if the BCC retains the right of final administrative
authority tor provísionðl uses, then, she would not object to the
proposal of the aZA hearing them. Also discussed was the total
responsibility of the BZ^; the membership on th~ DZA, including Bee
appointed members or the RCC mcmbers themselves, as is presently the
casc; and, whethcr or not it would be more advisable for the BCC to
continue to hear provisional use petitions as members of the BCC rather
I
than require they be hC.:Ird by the DZA, regðrdless of who makes up the
BZA membership. Mr. Pickworth explained that the membership of the BZA
doeM not have to be d0Cid~d to('~Y; only the question of the BZA'a
authority to hear provisional use petitions rcquires consideration at
this time.
Mr. Jim Smith, President of Naples Roðrd of Realtors (NABR),
referred to D letter from his organization, dated 12/2/81, in which
NABR takvs the position th~t the BZA should hear provisional use
petitions and, if there is to be an appeal regarding thc BZA'a
decision, the BCC should be the final authority for hearing such
appeals rather than requiring those provisional usc appeals to go

through tho routo cf litl~at{on. Also, should thJ~ Board bu
constituted, ~ criteria should be established regnrdlng qualifications
lor all advisory boards, which would insure representation from all
segments of the community.
Mr. Smith concluded his statemont with a messago of thanks and
appreciation to t:!e members of the Board and the entire County staff
for the wo r k tha t has gone into the development of the proposed
ordinance and for the spirit of cooperð t ion that has always been
dhplayed towa rei s the NABR.
Ch~drmðn Wimcr stated that a workshop will be scheduled to discuss
the DCC Policy for jctermining the makeup and methods for .:Ippolntments
of all advisory boards and he rcquestpd that staff notify tho NABR and
all other lnter~sted partics and invite thcm to participate.
Mrs. Charlotte Westman, reprcsenting the League of Women Voters of
Collier County (LWV), spoke In favo:: of hDving a separate body of
peoplc, appointed by the members of the BCC, to make up the membership
of the ßZA a"ð she urged the BQ¿Hd to Inake appointments only to those
persons with no real or substantial vestcd intcrcsts in land resources
in Col1ieL County.
Mr. Richard Hahn, resident, spoke In fc')vor of establishing thr.
hearing of provisional use pctitions by thc BZA ~nd in opposition to
having any furth~r moans of appe~l ß(ter a BZA decision has beon set
forth other than the Courts.
Commissioner Pistor moved that the Board adopt Mr. Pickworth's
suggestion, including an additional provision that any person ag~rieved
by a ß7.^ decision r~garding a provisIonal use or a variance petition
may appeal to tho ACC.

Commissioner Wenzel roquested clarification ðS to whethor or not
ti,e Board was vot.1ng to cßtl'lbl1ah the E\ZA7 Chairmlln Wlm~r stntco that
the ~otlcn i~ to cre~t~ a sep~rðte body othr.r th~n th~ rnp.mh~rs of h~
BCC DS the BZA, with the addition of an "appcal provinio~ to the BCC~
for aggrieved parties. Mr. Pickworth st.:lted that BZA decisions cannot,
by lbw, be appealed to the BCC regarding variance decisions.
Commission~r Pistor withdrew his motion. He then made a motion,
that Section 11 be stricken from the proposed ordinance in Its entirety
and that all relatcd sections be amended to reflect that deletion.
Mr. Virta stated that this cannot be done bec~use State law
dictates that thcre must be a aZA, whether its membership consists of
memburs of the ace or ð completely separate b~dy. Chairman Wimer
concurred, noting that the decision should be made whether to make the
membcrs of the Bee sit 3S rn~mbers of the 8ZA or to have the membcrs of
the BZA be appointcd as ø scp.:lrate body? He referred to the decision
as a philosophical matter, i.e. should the 8ce function as a purely ¡
legir.lative body or, should it ðlso act in ð quasi-judicial capacity?
Mrs. Kirchhoff clarified the mðtter as it now stands. She said
that, presently, the Bee acts as the BZA in matters concerning
variances nnd appeals of ðdrnlnistrative decisions. She explðined that
provisional use petitions are presently heard by the CArC and then come
before the BCC who arc ~ctinq In the cðp~clty as the 8CC and not the
8ZA. Chairman Wimcr concurred, adding that further pppcals on alA
decisions rclat~cI to v.:lriðnce petitions and administrðtlve deci£ion~
arc only ðvail~ble through the courts no mntter who sits on the BZA.
Mr. Pickworth concurred.
Mrs. Westman urged the Roard to p.stablish the aZA as D separ~te

which Commissioner Brown dIsagroed with Mrs. Westman a"d stated that he
belioven that elected commissioners sorving as the BZ^ arc more
sonsitive to tho will of tho public thßn would be appoInted members of
t." '. aZA.
ChairmDn Wimer declared the motion on the floor as out of order,
baßed on Counsel's concurrence that Section 11 cannot be removed.
Commissioner Wenzel moved that the BCC retain their pr-esent
posture as comprising the membership of the aZA and assumo the
responsibility thereof.
Mr. Pickworth rcfcrred to page 198 of the drafted ordinance,
Section 11.1, subparagrllph (e), <'Snd stat<!d thðt, if the intent of the
Board is ~lmply not to hðvo the BZ^ involved in provisional use
/
potltions, then, all that if' necessary is a motion to strike
subpa rélg rðph (0) from the proposed ord inc'lnco.
Commissioner Wenzel clarified h:s intent. He said that he is
motioning that thoro be a BZA and that the ace act ðS thðt BZA. Mr.
Virta stated that this is tho Wðy the proposed ordinance reads,
therefore, no motion Is necessary. Mr. PIckworth stated that the
question is which body should hear provisional use petitions; not who
makes up the BZA.
Commissioner Kruse stated that she considers provisio~ðl uses as
tho most disruptive and most emotional issuos that come up within a
community. Sho said that she considors thðt the el~ctp.d commissioners
hold the final responsibility to that same community, therefore, they

floor would not require amending or striking this Section which
outlines the duties of the ßCC as the body that appoints members to the
CAPC and the aZ^? Mr. Pfckworth stðtcd that the question of who will
sit as the BZA docs not have to be addressed as a part of the adoption
,
of the' propr.scd ordin<1nce. lie sùid thðt the motion must relðtf' to the
provisional use hearing powcr and which body shDll havo that power.
Chðirman Wimer ruled the motion on the floor as out of order ðnd
asked for a motion as to who will hoar provisional Use petitions?
Mr. ßÐfiS, of Adley ðnd ^ssoc., said that on Janu<1ry 15, 1981, his
firm was directed to draft the ordirance with a scparate BZA; however,
there have been revisions since that time. He said that, whichever way
tho Board decides to go, Sections 11 and 13 will have to be amended
accordingly. He ::;,:dd that in most other commulliti~s, "provisio"ðl
uses", often rcferred to as "special exceptions", are he~rd by the
Plðnning Commission ffrst and then go the BCC and are never heard by
the B~A, rcgè'1rdless of wh, si ts on that board.
Commissioner Wenzel motionpd that provi5ional usc petitions be

stated that he did not hellr.ve that it Wð8 deci1ed if the ACC would
assume flnal'~uthorllY for app~als on these ßZA decisions. This WðS
discussed lit great length, during which Mr. Pickworth agreed that this
was not clarified.
After additional discussion, Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded
by Commissioner Brown and carried 4/1, with Commissioner Wimer opposed,
that the BCC will sit as the BZA, thercfore the only means of appealing
any BZA decision, including those regarding provisional use petitions,
will be through the courts.

tho respective PUD Documcnt as ð legally adopted zoning Ordinance

Naples Area Board of Realtors President Jim Smith stated that Mr.
Virta's response to the NABR letter of. Inquiry regarding various
aspects of the proposed zoning regulations was satisfactory, with one
exception. Mr. Smith asked Mr. Vlrta to addross the height reductions
rclated to the "RT" distric~, specifically, what the basis was for
reducing the height from 200' to 100'?
Mr. Virta explained that this particular reduction was not the
result of staff's recommendations, rather, it was a result of a number
of Issues that have been dlsc~ss~d during the workshops, I.e. Board
direction, citizen's requests, and, availability of fire equipmcnt to
service highrise buildings, etc. He stated th~t these are the Sðme
reasons as those related to the RMF-16 district.

Chllrlottc Westmlln, representing the Leðgu~ of ~omc" Vot~rß of Collier
County (LWV), af>l(cd if It is true that those "ST" regulations are not
to L~ considered as "locked in"? She Ðsked for clarification th~t the
"ST" regulations will be workshopped and reviewed at ð later time for
possible revisions? Chairmðn Wimer concurr9~ "hat this is the Board's
intent.
Referring to the ncw low/modcri\to income housing thlt twill be
effective In Apr il of this year, Mrs. Westman asked if there is any
1 eg a 1 way to gU:lrantce the rcntal tenðnts thðt their units will not
become a condominium? Mr. Virta stated that tho rUD documcnt adopte~
by thp. BCC rcquir~s thðt those units within the project to w~lch Mrs.
WestmÐn is referring remain rental units, therefore, there Is no need
to "ÒÙ(t:ss tll,lt is!òue in the proFosed ardin. nce.
Mta. Wes~man asked if the EJ\C and the WMAB will still review
petitions and offer "input" to the BCC, even though, acc~rding to the
proposed ordinance, they ðre no longer ð part of the "point system"?
Mr. Virta replied affirmatively.

setbacks? This was discussed briofly, during which Zoning Director
Jeffory Pcrry pointed out that the existing rear setback is 20 ft. bnd
th~t the new ordinance is not changing that requirement.
Mr. Henderlong referred to tho regul~tions related to Tennis
Courts' setback requirements, specifically, why tho rcgul~tlons ~ro
more restrictive with an accessory structure as opposed to a principle
structure? Mr. Virta stated that the sctbacks are direct conversions
from the existing regulations, however, the setbacks in "mulit-famlly
areas· for the structures themselves have changed.

problcms that might arise if a fire were to breAk out and 25 ~hlldren
werc'trApped in such a center. He requested that the more restrictive
provisions be reinstðted.
This was discussed at length, during which Mrs. Kirchhoff
explained that State lðw allows up to 150 children in each of these
units. She said that staff feels lhat the provision, whereby there i$
a minimum requirement of 7,000 squ.:lro feet of area tor the first ~
children and eGch additional child rcquiring another 1,000 square feet,
will, ~or all practical purposes, lead to tho ·virtual elimination· of
child care centers in ColI lor County. She said thðt stðfr recommends
that the square foot minimum be deleted and a m~ximum of 25 children be
ðdd~d, as is cont~ined in tha dr~ftcd orðinðncc.
She also stðtcð thðt

Commissioner Wenzel, Mr. Virta stated that the fitaff does not havc any
objection to this request.
Commissioner Wenzcl moved, seconded by Commissioner Kruse and

Sh~ ref.~rrp.d to ü map and ov~rl.:lY which was submitted for the record
and explained that these two parcels are a part of an area of concern
that has been discussed in the past. She explained that the property
in question is divided in the Compr~hensive Plan between commerci~l and
residential use, as is all the property running from lath St. to U.S.
41, from High Point Dr ive north to Soll1na Rd.
Mrs. Kirchhoff said that, if the BOQrd wishes to make a change in
the proposed zoning, which is cummercial along U.S. 41 and residential
along 10th. Str~et, t could not be uone at this cime because com-
mercial zoning all the way to 10th. Strcct would be in conflict with
the Cc~?rehen~:ve Plan and woulù requIre d Comprehensive Plan
amdendment beforc being rezoncd. She stated that, if this Is t~e
intent of the Board, they could Siv~ direction to staff to prepnre the
rclative Comprehensive Plan ilmendment. lIowcvcr, said Mrs. Kirchhoff,
if the Board wishes to lcave 'he strip zoned as commerciül and
residential as indicated on the overlay, there in no need for any
action.
Mr. Biero urged the Bo~rd to grant his rp.quest for C-5 zoning on
his property, explaining that he has opcrðted this same family business
for many years on this property.

that 'the zoning maps be chllrlgt'ð to roflect thðt l'rea zoned as
commercial from U.S. 41 all the way back to 10th Street.
Mrs. Kirchhoff explained that in Mr. neiro's case, because his
property is being used ~s he described, he would require ð differcnt
zoning classification (C-S) from all other parcels in that area which
would be zoned C-4. Also, Mrs. Kirchhoff said that it is not possible
to change the zoning tonight because commercial zoning all the way to
lOth Street is in conflict wltK" the Comprehensive Plan.
Chairman Wimp.r nskrd Commissioner Wenzûl to amend his motion to
direct staff to take all appropri;te steps to zone the property all th~
way to 10th Street to C-4, with the exception of Mr. Berio's property
which should be zoned C-S. Mr. Vlrtn ~sked if this means that the
staff shvuld Initiate the necû8s~ry Comprehensive Land Use amendments
and Chairman Wimer replied affirmatively. Mrs. Kirchhoff stated that
the proposed zon ing will have to remð i'n as is proposed by sta ff and
indicated on the zoning maps (split between commercial and residential)
for the time b~ing, in order to comply with tho Comprehensive Land Use
Plan. Chairman Wimer agreed.
Mrs. Kirchhoff stated that staff is ðlso recommending that the

Plðnner tee Kirchhoff stated that staff is recommending that,
based on the Board's approval of adding the new uses to the "I" zoning
district, the zoning classification of C-5 should be removed from the
ERst Naples Industrial Park.
Mr. Donald Arnold, of Arnold & Arnold Realty, explained that when
he was sitting on th~ Committee that considered the ar.ditional uses for
the "1" district, hùving been approved earlier this session, the
Airport Road frontdgc property was never discussed. He said that, now,
he finds that the staff is recommending changing the zoning for the
East Naples Industrial Park from C-5 to "I". He said that his firm has
made sales to commercially orientcd business~s for this property, based
on what ~e though was the BO.:lrd's decision during earlier public
hearings, i.e. the C-5 zoning. He rcquested that the first 600 ft. or
660 It. along Airport Road remain C-5. Commissioner Wimer stated that
he understood Mr. 1\rnold to be opposed to C-5 zoning for the Airport
Road frontage during the last hearing. Mr. Arnold oxplained that, at
that time, he was representing four persons, one of whom had purchased
10 acres on which hc intended to develop an industrial park. Mr.
Arnold said that he can still do that under the C-5 district under

requefited that the zon!.\g on lots 547 and 548, Isles of Capri Business
Section, be changed from C-3 to C-4 in order to allow for the

This was discussed briefly, during which Mr. Virta noted this
subject has b~en discussed at great length in prior hearings,

ZONING OF FOUR SECTIONS OF LAND KNOWN AS NORTH GOLDEN GATE TO REMAIN
ZOMED AGRICULTURE - NO ACTION TAKEN
Attorney W. L. Blackwell, represcnting G.A.C. Realty Trust,
addressed ð comment, having been made by County Attorney Pickworth
during the Deccmber 22, 1981 public hearing, regarding an amendment to
a Bonding Agrcement between Avatar and the County which Mr. Pickwor th
claims has ð bearing on the four sections of land owned by G.A.C.
Re-.lty Trust. He stated that certain rights are vested in the subject
four section!;', of lc:md by virtue of the fact that a plat was dedicc)ted.
He said that the plats have not boen vacated, however, the proposed
action of the land will result in a change in the zoning. He contended'
that this is not legal, however, he was not going to argue that point.
He said that, if he is net granted the relief he is requesting tonight,
he will proceed with the correct forum regarding that matter. He
outlined his rcquest that a point be cleared up regarding Mr.
Pickworth's st~tement, wherein he referred to the aforementioned
amendment, entitled Fifth Amendment to Bonding A~reemcnt, dated August
29, 1981, as an agreement between the "property owners of the subject
four sections of land" ûnd the BCC. Mr. Blackwell stated that the
subject Agrvemcnt is between Avatar, formerly G.A.C. properties Inc,
and Colli~r County. He s~id that he repre5cnts the G.A.C. R~alty
Trust, which is a scpûrate entity from Avatar and is not a private

Golden Cate, outsido of the subject four sections. Mr. Blackwell
~tðted that the subject Agreemcnt does not bind G.A.C. Realty Trust or
the lands of G.A.C. Re~lty Trust.
Mr. Blackwell explained that G.A.C. Realty Trust is a Trust
created by the Bankruptcy Court of the U.S. Oistrict Court for the
Southern District of Floridð, which took, as its assets, the assets of
bankrupct G.A.C. for the satisfaction of numcrous financial
obligations. fIe said th¡;¡t the ',rust exists sol~y for the benefit of
the crcditors of G.A.C., the bankrupt corporation. He said that it
took this l~nd, (~ sections) on reliance of its value, as it w~s
apprðised and as it was 70ned. He said that he believes that this
cre~ted ccrtain rights to the people and, without the vacation of these
plats, he docs not feel that the County is legally cntltled to do what
it propozos.
Mr. Blackwell stated that, to protect the record, he is hero to
explain the aforementioned Agreement and to renew his roquest that the
County not rezone those four sections of land, because the plats have
nover been vacated.
County Attorney Pickworth asked Mr. Blackwell if he has checked to
seo that, when that Agreement was origin"Jlly entored into and approved
by the Court, the lands that wore owned by G.A.C. Realty Trust were not
included In the agrcement? Mr. Blackwell :eplled affirmatively, adding
that, at the timo the Agrecmcnt WJS entcred Into, Avatar did not own
those lands; they owned othor lands. County Pickworth stated that he
believes that G.A.C. Realty Trust received the ~ubjcct sections as part

stated that "0 believes thDt G.A.C. did not receive the land prior to
the time the Bankruptcy Co u r t approved the base Aqreement and Mr.
Blackwcll disagreed, adding that the Bankruptcy Court is not a party to
the Agroement. Mr. ric~worth disagreed, adding th~t he believes that.
G.1\.C. Realty Trust was given a bulk of property to solI in order to ;
payoff the creditors of the bankrupt corporation and that the subject
four scctions wcre included. Mr. Bl~ckwell stated that he is taking
the position th,1t the oubjcct amendment to tI Bonding Agreement is no
basis for rezoning tho property.
Chairman Wimer Gtðtcd that the Agreement is not the basis on which
the property is being rezoned. Hp. said that the Planning staff has, on
scveral occasIons, listeò their r~aso~s for r~commending the rezoning.
Mr. Blackwell stated that he understands, however, he was led to
believe, durinC) the last meeting, that the Buard was pldcing some
reliance on th~ terms of the subject Agreement and he is hero to state
that he does not believe that the Agreement has any relevlnce to the
subject property. He said that many thousands of dollars have been
spent for platting, engineering, surveying, and dedicr~ion of the plats
for these four sections of land. He said that the County and public
received significant riC)hts when the plats were dedicated and, becðuse
the County has not v.:Icated those plats, he is requesting that tho land
not be rezoned. He respectfully suggested that it is improper, ðS ð
matter of law, to rezone the subject property without v~catlng tho
plats.

Planning Dir~ctor Danny Crew statcd for the rocord that.
not\o.'1thstllnding the bonding issue, planning r('aSOilS dictate that this
rezone take place. He said that this was rocommended by the CAPC ðnd
IAPC that this area be rezoned to Agriculturo for the reasons outlined
during the last session and because it would bring this area into
compliance with the present Comprehensive Plan.
Chairman Wimer noted that it is the consensus of the Board that
the property in question b~ designated as Agriculture on the zoning
maps, therefore there is no need to take further action.
Planner Lee Kirchhoff stated for the rQcord, that G.A.C. Realty
now has four sections of non-conforming lots of record, which can be
farmed and built upon without being required to have a minimum land
arca of five acre3.

Mr. Roger Dick, owner of property known ð5 Tr~fford pine Estates
in Immokalec, requestcd that the zoning of his land be changed from
RMF-h to RMF-12, noting thðt the lsnd Is pr(!s·!ntly zoned I-MF3, which
allows for .:Ipproximately 20 units per acre. He said that he cannot
develop the property as he planned with the denRity reduced to 6 units
per acre.
In answer to Chairman Wimer, Mrs. Kirchhoff stated that staff
cannot recommend this zoning change becausc it would require a
Comprehensive L.:Ind U~e amendment. This was discussed briefly, after
which Mrs. Kirchhoff suggested that Mr. Dick come back latcr and
request such an smendment and then pursue a zoning ch.:lnge, adding that
Mr. Dick's property has been set at Q-fi units pcr ðcre for over two
years.
The discussion continued, during which Mr. Dick asked if the lake,
situated in the centcr of his property, could be uD~d to calculate the

~et regarding tho r~ilroDd pulling out of southern Collior Couty, somo
time ago. Chðirman Wimer asked if the County did zone lðnd as
Industrial for the con&truction of the terminus ~nd staff indicated
that it had. Mr. Virta added that the aroa surrounding the terminus is
presently zoned Indllstr!,'l. Also discussed w,')s the intent of the AOllrd
in the past in regards to .:Imendments to the Comprehensive Plan for
ðdditional industrial uscs; the fact th~t some people may have relied
on what past Board members expressed as their intent1 promises of
Industrial Zoning, having been granted by staff members who no longer
work for the CountY1 and, the present Community DevelQpment Division's
pGlicy th~t no one is ev~r promised "~ guarðntce of zoning".
After the discussion, Attorney George Varnadoe, representing East
Bay Development Corporation, reminded the Board that changing the
zoning of the lnnd in question to Industrial cannOL be done during this
session because that would require a Comprchesive Land Use amendment.
He said that the Comprchensive Plan shows this land as residential.
,Mr. Dan Conley, representing D number of propcrty owners in the
subject area, concur.red with Mr. Varn~doc .:Ind spoke :n opposition to
this land being zoned Industrial and noted that, If those who favor
such action choose to apply for a Comprehensive Land Use amendment, his
clients will speak out In opposition at that time.
Upon conclusion of all comments, Chairman Wimer noted that th~
consensus of the Board WðS that no ðction be taken ðnd that if
individual prcperty owners wish to h~v~ their lðnd rezoned to
Industrial, they must first ðpply for ~ Comprehensive Land Use
c!lmenðmcnt.
