This area of <br />Lester Street (located at the comer of Wade Street), designated as Industrial on <br />the Proposed Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan, will be proposed for <br />redesignation as Professional. There was no adverse response from th.e adjacent <br />property owners. <br /> <br />In order to assure compliance with Virginia Code 15.2-2200, it is stated that the <br />public purpose for which these Resolutions are initiated is to promote the public <br />health, safety or general welfare of its citizens and to plan for the future <br />development of the community. <br /> <br />Following evidence heard at the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted <br />unanimously (6-0) to recommend to City Council the rezoning be granted. <br /> <br />55 West Church Street P.O.
