1-95 in a stream. She emphasized that what Mr. Kahn is proposing is a very beautiful site plan with a row of offices in the front, trades warehouses behind that and mini -storage in the back, and what he does is first class. Commissioner Eggert pointed out that although what Mr. Kahn is proposing may be beautiful, we cannot take that into consid- eration on a rezoning. Commissioner Bird wished to know just what staff envisioned when they included this property in the node. Director Keating advised that it was envisioned this would be the commercial part of the node, not heavy commercial (CH), which is almost industrial, but preferably CG or CL. He further explained that in CH you can have a lot of heavy uses - fuel related services, contractor's trade services, marine and vehicle repair services, warehousing, moving and storage, printing and publishing industries, etc. It is close to industrial. CG is more retail in nature, and you can have everything from a conven- ience store to a shopping center, and mini -storage. Commissioner Bird noted that actually mini -storage is a very quiet activity, and he wished to know if staff would support CG on this property, but not CH. Director Keating confirmed that staff would support CG. Commissioner Bird asked Attorney O'Haire if his applicant is adamant about wanting CH or nothing, and Attorney O'Haire noted that this is an old dilemma. His client has a specific use in mind for the property, but do you take half a loaf or none. They had envisioned half a loaf being the south half CG and the remainder fronting on 512 CH, which seemed like a reasonable compromise. If the option is only CG, however, he does not want to leave with nothing. Board members indicated they would go along with the CG zoning for the entire parcel. The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard and thereupon closed the public hearing. 41 BOOK. 78 P,:GF.682 DEC 1 1989 � J
