Commr. Smoak then withdrew his motion.
On a motion by Commr. Burhans, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried, the Board upheld the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approved rezoning from A (Agricultural) to one (1) acre RR (Rural Residential) and the balance of 24 acres to MP (Planned Industrial), subject to the approval of the Pollution Control Department.
Commr. Smoak voted "No". He stated he favored the rezoning from A (Agricultural) to MP (Planned Industrial) but did not favor the RR (Rural Residential) zoning because he felt it created a spot zone, and would rezone the property to a heavy industrial zone except for that one acre lot.
