Unfinished Business:

A presentation was received for rezoning of a parcel of land on Guinea Road from Agricultural to Industrial. Upon administrative review by staff and zoning administrator, it was determined the request does not meet the Master Plan. A request was then sent to the Planning Commission to consider amending the Master Plan. After discussion on the parcel of land requesting rezoning, it was determined by the Planning Commission that the land on both sides of Guinea Road from Lansing Road to the railroad track is not under agricultural production, is unsuitable for farming and due to the close proximity of Lansing Road, might be more appropriate for commercial or industrial use. Pray moved and Johnson seconded to proceed with Intent to Plan, amending the Master Plan for the area on both sides of Guinea Rd from Lansing Rd to railroad tracks from Agricultural to Industrial.

Roll Call:

Ayes: Sabourin, Barnhart-Smith, Johnson, Holtz, Pray and Bowen
