REZONING REQUEST CONT'D Councilman DelPizzo stated that he felt that the area should be rezoned as it is not residential property with the commercial areas surrounding it along with the rail- road tracks and felt Council should ~e- zone the area. Councilman McDonald asked what type of zoning is necessary to allow Jensen's to continue his business. Mr. Drumm stated that the type of zoning request, 1tCB1t, wouJd work for Mr. Jensen. Under the nonconforming use, the building could not be expanded or rebuilt if destroyed. It if was under a special use review, it could be expanded legally, and could be sold. Once the use is granted it is a legal use and can be carried on under the same use if sold. Councilman Domenico stated that the area around the rezoning request area, is mostly commercial and felt the area should be rezoned commercial along with the surround- ing area. Councilman Caranci stated that at the time it was changed, Mr. Jensen who is request- ing the rezoning was on Council and voted in the residential zoning.
