Property Details
Property History: The subject property was annexed in 1944, and was originally zoned "J" Commercial District. Upon adoption of the 2001 Unified Development Code, the previous base zoning district converted to the current "I-1" General Industrial District.
The property is developed with a 480-square foot commercial structure that was built in 1990, which is used as an automobile dealership. The subject property consists of four platted lots, platted in 1912. The purpose of the rezoning request is to bring the existing nonconforming use into compliance.

Topography: The property does not include any abnormal physical features such as slope or inclusion in a floodplain.
