If so, the change will be made prior to being forwarded to City Council.

MOTION: Commissioner Eldridge MOVED to recommend that Tract C, Daubenspeck Property be rezoned to General Commercial. Commissioner Twait SECONDED the motion. Bryson stated he felt a rezone of the area was premature at this time as there had been no determination for what the property would be used. Eldridge stated the KEDS group suggested the property would be more attractive if it were zoned General Commercial and he recommended the public hearing process should begin. Commissioner Amen asked why the zone should change before there was even any PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 9, 2005 PAGE 4 l interest in the property. Eldridge responded, stating most developers would not be 1 interested in a split zone and if the change was made now then the property could be marketed by summer, It was noted a zoning change would take approximately 90 days.
