Thus the rezoning to MX. <br /> <br />At the December meeting the Planning Commission directed staff to explore with <br />Johnson Screens the possibility of the City having an agreement with Johnson Screen to <br />have the first option to purchase these properties if they became available. This was <br />discussed briefly with Mr. Bob Norell and he will consult with his colleagues at Johnson <br />Screen. Mr. Andrle presented the Planning Commission with two actions they could <br />take: <br /> <br />1)Recommend to rezone the three properties to MX, Mixed Use to make the <br />Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations consistent. <br /> <br />2)Recommend to not rezone the three properties and make a change to the <br />Comprehensive Plan to have the Comprehensive Plan and current zoning <br />designation consistent. The commission may also want to recommend to the <br />Council that staff develop an agreement with Johnson Screens to give the City the <br />first option to purchase the three vacant properties. <br /> <br />
