Transition)to I-L(Light Industrial)to allow for a 2-story 74,365 square foot flex space building
on 3.10-acres, located at 935 S Black Cat Road, within the Meridian Area of City Impact.

areas,light industrial including manufacturing and assembly,and other miscellaneous uses.The
proposed zone of I-L(Limited Industrial)is compatible with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan,
