II. INTRODUCTION
This item was heard and public testimony was taken on July 16, 2008. The Planning Commission
voted on the project and the outcome was a tie (3-3) as one Planning Commission member was
absent from the hearing. As a result of the tie, the Planning Commission continued the item to
August 6, 2008 for further consideration of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission
had concerns with the additional traffic that would be generated associated with changing the
permitted use on Lot 4 from Planned Industrial to Medical Office, and also expressed concerns
regarding the proposal to limit Lots 2 and 3 to Office Uses except medical. The staff report for
the July 16, 2008 meeting is attached.

Commission concerns raised at the July 16, 2008 meeting.
