The two amendments were considered at a public hearing held by the Local Planning Agency on August 30th. That Board recommends approval of both requests. The Planner pointed out the property involved in the first amendment. It is a 5 acre parcel fronting on SR 434, currently classified Rural Residential. The owner wishes to classify the land Commercial. All other property in the City along this stretch of the highway is now Commercial.
