BACKGROUND:
The subject property is a part of the shopping center currently known as Centennial Square.

The planning commission shall determine if the request meets the provisions of the declaration of public policy for amending the official zoning map set forth in section 10-12-1 of the city code.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Staff reviewed the rezoning application for consistency with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan, and to ensure that proposal promotes the general welfare of the community, and is recommending conditional approval of this official zoning map amendment.
