3. Recommendation on rezoning request by Mark Lockmiller to change parcel identified
as Tax Map 057H Group C Parcel 042.00 located on Short Street from I-1 light Industrial
District to R-2 Medium Density Residential District containing approximately 1.82 acres.

Mr. Casteel said this is an almost 2-acre industrial lot. It does not meet the minimum lot

size for an industrial lot. He said he believes it has been that way since they have had
zoning. He showed them the Rails for Trails and said it had been abandoned and there was

no railroad right-of-way right there. He assumes it will eventually become a part of the
Eureka Trail or an extension to downtown. He said he knows there are plans to run that

down to Market Park somewhere in the Parks and Rec future. He said to him it tends more

towards residential development because it is a transitional area. The land use map does
show it as office and light commercial. He recommended approval of the request.

MOTION: —_To recommend to city council for the R-2 rezoning.
