SEP 19 1984 BOOK <br />pointed out that the area is being developed to reflect the <br />character which would be consistent with the MED District <br />zoning. He informed the Board that the hospital taxing <br />district favors the adoption of these rezoning requests. <br />Chairman Scurlock pointed out the lack of long-range <br />planning for medical areas in other parts of the country. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board <br />unanimously closed the Public Hearing. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that the limited uses found in <br />the MED District actually could be to the property owners' <br />advantage because this provides them with the assurance that <br />someone cannot come in and build something that would be <br />detrimental to their property that might have been allowed <br />under the C-1 or C-lA zoning. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the <br />Board adopt Ordinance 84-63, rezoning 149.98 <br />acres of land from Single -Family District, <br />Planned Business District, and Restricted <br />Commercial District to Medical District. <br />Commissioner Bird stated that the Motion is made with <br />the understanding that we are going to remain flexible as <br />needs arise for future MED Districts. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked if the Motion includes the <br />C-lA, and Commissioner Bird confirmed that it did because <br />there are existing medical facilities in that area and he <br />could not see leaving the C -1A acreage out if what we are <br />trying to create is a consistent medical zone in the area. <br />40 <br />
