The Planning staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed rezoning for the subject property from City R-1 (Low Density Residential) to CIP (Commercial/Industrial Planned).

The project site is approximately 0.5 acres. The property is generally located on the north side of Vine Street, east of Oakland Street, as shown on the attached General Location Map.
