8. Ordinance No. 1190 (18-00210) to Rezone at approximately University Blvd. and 258 S 2"d
W rezoning the eight parcels in the General Business District Zone (GBD) to Community
Business Center (CBC)— Craig Rindlisbacher
City Planner Rindlisbacher said this rezone was a recommendation from the Task Force
Committee from about a year ago. There will be a future request to take the verbiage from
the General Business District Zone and add that verbiage to the Community Business
Center Zone. The Development Code will be updated to show only one business zone.
There isn't a lot of difference between the two zones.
