store with gas pumps. The convenience store building

the property to C-4 in order to expand the existing
car wash facility located immediately to the west.
Staff is supportive of the rezoning request. There is
C-4 zoned property located immediately west and south
of this property, with industrial zoning (I-2) further
to the west and northwest. As was mentioned earlier,
the C-4 zoned property immediately west contains a car

C-3 and contain commercial uses.

shows Commercial for the adjacent properties,
