This is a rezoning request for a property at 8901 East U.S. 290 (out in the Walnut Creek Watershed), where the owner wants to switch from commercial and limited industrial zoning with conditional overlays to straight limited industrial service (LI) zoning. Dropping the conditional overlays opens the door to a wider range of industrial uses on the site. Both city staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend approving the LI zoning.
