WHEREAS, the City Attorney and staff have conducted a comprehensive review of the
City's current list of permitted, conditional, and prohibited uses under the C-2 zoning district and
have found that this zoning district permits a combination of incompatible uses including
neighborhood commercial, general commercial and industrial uses; and
WHEREAS, with the advice of the City Attorney and City Staff, the City Commission hereby
finds that the current C-2 Zoning scheme does not promote sound planning; could encourage legal
challenges to zoning decisions made by the City; does not provide adequate safeguards to protect
against introducing incompatible land uses which may impact adjacent or surrounding land uses; and
makes it very difficult to create a system of transitional commercial and industrial zoning districts
