The Planner noted that the current uses at <br />2700 and 2724 Rice SUeet would conform with the RB zoning. <br />LaValle asked if this would be considered adown-zoning of the properly. <br />The Planner replied that it would not given the uses allowed in the B-1 <br />District would be allowed in the RB District. The only difference is that a <br />Conditional Use Permit would be required for any new business locating <br />at either of these properties. <br />Blesener asked if the rezoning is approved if the intent would be to <br />eliminate the B-1 District entirely. The Planner replied that Chis is correct. <br />There was no one from Che general public present wishing to comment on <br />this matter. <br />Upon motion by LaValle, seconded by Montour, the public hearing was <br />closed. <br />Mr. Montour introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2006-4-98 -REZONING 2700 RICE STREET <br />FROM LIMITED NEIGHBORHOOD 73USINESS (B-I) TO <br />
