Paul Hoss explained that there was a previous recommendation to deny the petition by the Development Committee. The petitioner heard the concerns of the Committee and revised the site plan so that all the lots will be 40,000 sq. ft. or greater. He has removed the variation request and would like the Committee to reconsider for the rezoning only. He added that this petition does not have to go back to the ZBA, due to the current request being less zoning relief than originally requested and published.

Vice-Chair Garcia verified the Zoning Code states, there cannot be an accessory building on a lot without a primary structure. Paul Hoss explained that the house was demolished previously and the shed was left up. If another house is built, the property would be in compliance.

The vote was done by roll call.
