Premier Bank - Sketch Plan 2 and intends to meet the guidelines. The applicant stated that the transitions between land uses would likely be landscaping and fencing. The Planning Commission asked staff about the rezoning of the property and what that means for the other properties in the area. Staff stated that the rezoning and CUP for a drive through would be for a commercial use and would allow all of the uses allowed in the Central Business (C-1) zoning district to locate there. The rezoning is not specific to a bank user. If this property is rezoned to C-1, the City should expect that each parcel will be developed separately and individually, rather than a master planned for development. The applicant added that it would be a large undertaking for someone to develop the entire area zoned Future Central Business (FUS) as a master development. The Planning Commission agreed that the residents in the area likely do not know that their property is zoned or how the properties could be developed. There were some concerns from the Commission on the drive through and access, and they would not like to see a fast food restaurant or other high traffic users in that location at a key entrance into downtown. The Planning Commission unanimously made a recommendation to the City Council to hold a neighborhood meeting with property owners with the zoning of Future Central Business (FUS) to discuss what their property is zoned and how the area could develop. 2.
