build apartments, she is against it; and if not, she is for the request. Ms. Martinez

None.

with staff to discuss options for zoning and chose to zone his property General Business
(GB).
Mr. Mueller said the present use can continue under the grandfather clause unless
discontinued for a period of six months, but future zoning requests can allow the Multi -
Family (MF) to continue.
Vice Chairman Emil Beltz asked if Mr. Holly could replace old mobile homes with new
ones, and Mr. Mueller said no, a Specific Use would be required.

was a tavern, a radiator shop, and a cleaners on the front of the property, and the back
