properties in the vicinity of Moorland Road and College Avenue (the first
Implementation Strategy on Page 6-6) was discussed at great length. Wichgers stated
that his constituency did not want the Moorland Road area rezoned to a Business Park
District. They have requested that the 2010 Comp Plan reflect a residential use in that

area and do not believe the zoning should be changed until after 2010. Slocomb
stated this Council couldn’t determine the actions of future Councils. It was noted that
the words, “based upon acceptable Building Site and Operation Plans” should be
added to that section as they appear in other rezoning recommendations contained in

rezoning petitions are reviewed. Regarding Issue 1 on Page 6-8, Wichgers noted that
his constituents also have concerns about expediting the southern extension of
Moorland Road. Salentine stated that the expedition is necessary so the City will
obtain jurisdiction of the road. If under the County’s control, truck traffic would be
