He stated that only three of the businesses <br />in this area are purely industrial; the rest are not. He commented the City created an area that <br />really is not what it was intended to be. He stated he is trying to change the ordinance to reflect <br />the reality and thought it would be easer to take uses from Commercial Zoning and place them in <br />as conditional uses. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jenson questioned Mr. Foster if he is suggesting the current businesses currently <br />be grandfathered in rather than require a conditional use permit. <br /> <br /> Mr. Foster replied he takes no position on this. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Crone asked if there were four separate suites in the building. <br /> <br />Mr. Foster replied there are six suites.
