3 Zoning and Land Use The west half of the existing parcel is zoned GB, General Business. The east half is zoned R- X, Rural Executive. In review of historic zoning maps, since the 1950’s, a 300 foot wide corridor along the east side of Lake Drive was zoned commercial. It appears in 1988 with Ordinance No. 01-88, the City revised the zoning map and the east half of the existing parcel was rezoned to R-X, Rural Executive. Staff is not exactly sure why, but the proposed rezoning will clear up any zoning confusion. The vacant commercial and remnant parcel are zoned GB, General Business. The R-X, Rural Executive portion shall be rezoned to GB, General Business.
