Corridor commercial includes a range of retail, entertainment, office, and service commercial development. The corresponding zoning district is B-2 according the City’s Comprehensive Plan.

This structure will complement the adjacent properties not only by its aesthetics but also with the commerce that is associated with this type of facility. The property is currently zoned light industrial and we are proposing to have it rezoned to B2 commercial. We believe the rezoning is a better use of the exposure that this property location provides. The rezoning is consistent with the surrounding areas as it is an extension of the adjacent zoning district directly to the south. We feel that the rezoning is a minor adjustment to take better advantage of what the site exposure offers. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan as it is shifting the existing zoning district across the street to take advantage of the exposure the intersection and roadway provide. In closing we would like to thank you for reviewing our request. We look forward to developing this piece of property and being a partner in your community.
