Sonya,
I am in agreement with the staff report with a single exception, paragraph 3 of page 7 states "Staff
recommends a less intense commercial zoning designation such as C-N which would also allow for retail
uses but still be compatible with adjacent residential uses & zoning. This designation restricts the hours
of operation for businesses from 6 am to 10 pm which would have a lesser impact on the abutting
residences and be more compatible". Although we are not at this time requesting any rezone we feel
that a C-N would not be appropriate on this location for the very reasons contained within your staff
report regarding surrounding uses. I do agree that the HDR on the southwest corner of the site will need
to have some level of buffering but that could be handled within a C-C zoning easily. Once we have this
comprehensive plan amendment approved and we secure our users, we then can address all of these
issues within a rezone and CU application. At this point we respectively object to any restriction to a C-N
zoning.
Sincerely
James LJewett
