The purpose of the site would be essentially for <br />manufacturing. This development requires a rezoning and the <br />approval of a Planned Unit Development.

Although it was approved, the development did not <br />proceed and the City's approvals lapsed. However, the TIF <br />District, which was established on the site, continues to run. <br />This application is for a "re- approval" of the rezoning and for <br />Concept Stage approval of the PUD. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Rezoning.
