The request was to allow for an Alpha Beta development, however, since then the K -Mart project has been completed and Lot 1 is just about fully developed now. The applicant feels that Lot 2 would be better developed under the Highway Service District instead of Neighborhood Commercial and, therefore, requests the City change the zoning back to the original district. Mr. Hays advised that the entire area is zoned "P -D" Planned Development, and within the "P -D" area are the different zoning districts, .:. and the uses are listed in Ordinance 140 C.S., which is the ordinance that approved the development.
