PUBLIC HEARING: MAYOR PRO -TEM STORK DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO REZONE AREA OF U.S. HIGHWAY 395 (COLUMBIA EAST) FROM RESIDENTIAL R-1 TO COMMERCIAL C-3: The City Manager reported the Hearing had been duly published and posted. There were no written adverse communications. A letter was read from Planning Commission, recommending proposed zone change. The City Manager stated he had received no answer from the State, relative to I-182 route. Harold Thompson and Bob Tibbett, developers of Columbia East Project, stated it was their understanding the City had to support the project by granting zone change prior to the State granting access; further, if the zone change was not granted, they could only develop the area agriculturally instead of commercially.
