He then <br />read from the Minutes of the meeting wherein former Chief Planner <br />Richard Shearer had indicated that the Planning 6 Zoning Commis- <br />sion felt the area was suitable for professional offices, but <br />since there was no vehicle to accomplish this, they ended up <br />voting to deny it. Board members indicated they hoped some <br />vehicle could be found whereby this could be done, and a PRO <br />District was subsequently adopted, but imposed an acreage <br />limitation that did not permit its application to this property. <br />Mr. Henderson advised that his client is committed to a PRO <br />zoning and would be more than happy to take that rather than <br />pursuing a Land Use change which is more radical but is the only <br />avenue available at this time.
