Staff finds the proposed rezoning will be consistent with the Luke Compatible Land Use Overlay and will not adversely impact the surrounding area, as this area is intended for industrial development. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their regular meeting of September 21, 2016 and unanimously voted (5-0) to forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council.
