On previous attempts in 1983 and 1984 to rezone to commercial, the applications were denied and in 1984 an opposing petition from the neighborhood was also submitted. The reasons for opposition were stated as a fear of undesirable commercial uses. Staff favored office development on the site due to its proximity to the residential area. B.
