1 Director of City Planning Robert Goodwin presented the recommendation of the
2 Plan Commission, who conducted a public hearing on June 26, 1979 and July
3 ' 24, 1979. It was the consensus of the Plan Commission that prior to the
4 rezoning of any Airport property to the AIP Airport Industrial Park District,
5 Article 37 of the Zoning Ordinance, which established the Airport Industrial
6 Park District, should be amended to more specifically define the types of
7 uses permitted and to more specifically define the development standards
8 required of such uses. The Plan Commission determined that, for the present;
9 the entire airport should be zoned AZ Airport Zone District. This change
10 in zoning would place the airport in the appropriate zoning district and not
11 jeopardize any future state or federal grants. The Plan Commission voted
12 nine (9) to zero (0) to recommend the Ordinance be adopted, but with an
13 amendment to delete that section of the Ordinance which would rezone 68.57
14 acres of airport property to the AIP District.
