Ms. Beebe reported that representatives from nearly all of the affected parcels were |
|
present at the work session. One major concern was the effect of the proposed |
|
changes on commercial property values. Most of the owners would like to see an |
|
alternative that provides for retaining commercial use with a conversion of the existing |
|
B-1 area to B-2. All of the property owners could see the benefits of treating the |
|
area as single use type; consolidation made sense to them. Most of the attendees |
|
were not supportive of the community amenity alternative because they believe it |
|
would make their property less valuable. Office use was considered reasonable, |
|
however, existing office zoned parcels have not sold. In addition to this, asking prices |
|
for some parcels make it difficult to support residential amenities. |
