Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes August 8, 2018 Page 8 Mr. Henson explained that this site could not accommodate any substantial development and meet all of the site requirements without incorporating the entire adjacent parcel. In response to the Commission's question, Ms. Hanna explained that the property to the north is currently being rezoned which required the City to notify the surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the zoning change.
