BOOK 69JACE196' <br />which would warrant this amendment have not changed; this can be <br />demonstrated by the relative lack of requests for this <br />neighborhood node designation and the lack of conflict due to the <br />current ordinance. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission deny this request to amend the CN, <br />Neighborhood Commercial District. <br />Commissioner Eggert believed in addition to neighborhood <br />nodes, there is an allowance for some commercial within a PRD. <br />Planner Nearing confirmed that if you have a PRD with more <br />than a certain number of units, you can have a small amount of <br />retail or commercial activity within that PRD, but it is intended <br />to service only that particular development. <br />The Chairman reviewed how a public hearing is conducted and <br />asked the applicant to make their presentation. <br />Attorney Steve Henderson came before the Board representing <br />Wilder Corporation, the applicant.
