Landscaping is already in place in the front with parking provided <br />in the rear yard. There was no public response regarding this petition. <br /> <br />In order to assure compliance with Virginia Code 15.2-2200, it is stated that the public purpose for which <br />these Resolutions are initiated is to promote the public health, safety or general welfare of its citizens and <br />to plan for the future development of the community. <br /> <br />Following evidence heard at the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (3-0) to <br />recommend to City Council this property be rezoned to P-2 Professional, conditioned on compliance with <br />the parking and landscaping requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, and that the Proposed Land Use Map <br />be amended to reflect a Professional designation. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission respectfully submits this recommendation for Council's further consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />J ames Barnett, Chairperson <br /> <br />1Jc- ~.P ~~l <br /> <br />Wayne D~ Knox, Director <br />Community Development <br /> <br />Ibtr <br />cc: James Barnett, Chairperson <br />James A.
