but he voiced concern over 1) the extension of the commercial general district when all the property already in that category is not being put to use and 2) another business adding traffic to an already dangerous road. “I’m opposed to it at this particular point in time. When the road is four-laned and the commercial district filled up, then we might take another look at it.”
“I’m not for expanding the commercial general zone any more than necessary,” agreed Mr. Clark.
“It’s going to increase traffic,” added Commissioner Bob Anderson, saying the rezoning shouldn’t be approved until the highway is fourlaned.
According to Mr. McCarthy, the road question — but not the availability of other commercially-zoned property — is relevent to Mr. Henry’s application. “If it’s appropriate to be commercial, it’s appropriate to be commercial, whether there is unused commercial property or whether there isn’t. ”
“Could we table our vote on this?” asked Mr. Massie.
“Until we have a little better idea of what’s happening with the highway?” Dr. Krebser added.
Mr. McCarthy explained that the Planning Commission, on its motion, could table the rezoning application for a month, but with Mr. Henry’s concurrence a vote could be postponed indefinitely.
Mr. Massie noted that a decision from the Commonwealth’s Transportation Board on whether to proceed with the four-laning ofjtt. 211 probably wouldn’t be forthcoming in 30 days. “In 1974, they said they were going to start on it right away, and that was 14 years ago!”
“It’s fine with me,” interjected Mr. Henry, agreeing to have his rezoning request deferred until the fate of the Rt. 211 dual-laning is decided.
