2. The City Council finds this parcel is not close enough to the half section line - which
is where neighborhood centers are to be located based upon the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map - to warrant non-residential uses. Medium density residential
uses are preferred. It is recommended that the applicant re-design the development to
incorporate all residential uses and zoning.
3. The City Council recognizes the concerns of the public with the proposed C-N zoning
and, specifically, the hours of operation as compared with office or residential type
uses.
Therefore, due to the aforementioned issues, the City Council issues the following
Decision and Order:
