The minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting re- garding the subject were reviewed, and Planning Commission member, Kathy Dansie, explained that the Commission recommended an RSD-l Zone, with a waiver on the size requirements, for this location so that it would be the same as the area across the street to the south, thus avoiding spot zoning.
