This property is the only large tract of land in this section of the C-3 Commercial corridor along S. Memorial Boulevard, but is within a block of an existing machine shop which is zoned M-2 Industrial. There were four property owners that spoke at the hearing. In order to assure compliance with Virginia Code 15.2-2200, it is stated that the public purpose for which these Resolutions are initiated is to promote the public health, safety or general welfare of its citizens and to plan for the future development of the community.
