Kurt explained his C2 Zone findings and example documents to the Commission stating there are a few options to consider; either denying the application, approving the application and allowing single-family dwellings as an outright use in the commercial zone, or approving the application and amendments with conditions in place. Jimmy Souza added they had updated their information as well, providing a map of how they wanted to potentially lay out the single-family dwellings on the property with commercial units incorporated. With no further public comment or discussion the hearing then closed at 4:40pm. The Commission deliberated and Suzi motioned to deny the application, Valorie seconded it. Arnie called for those who oppose the motion; Heather opposed. The decision was 2 to 1 for the application to be denied, the motion passed.
