Summary
Two long-time business properties were rezoned to residential in the 2022 comprehensive rezoning, and the owners want MU-1 Neighborhood Mixed Use back so they can sell or operate. The Supervisors tabled both petitions and want the Planning Commission to look at adding two business parcels across the street so all four rezone together and avoid a spot-zoning challenge.

Impact analysis
The owner says the R1 zoning is blocking a sale of his office building, so the rezoning directly affects two property owners' property values.
The two business property owners gain flexibility to sell or redevelop if the rezoning eventually passes.
Nearby residential neighbors could see commercial or multi-family uses closer to their homes if the rezoning is approved.
