• AGENDA ITEM V.A. STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson MEETING DATE: September 14, 2005 TOPIC: Final Plan Apollo Landing BACKGROUND Equinox Development was previously approved by the City Council (in the form of a Development Stage Plan) for a 5 lot commercial subdivision on property located at 540 Lilac Drive. The application included a Rezoning to GB (General Business), a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Planned Unit Development, a Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat, and allocation of commercial MUSA reserve.
