As such it is <br />in violation to the purpose and intent of the zoning code. <br />The granting of such variances in .industrially zoned area <br />is, in fact, allowing a much denser development than <br />intended by the zoning code. Such a request is, in fact, a <br />request,to rezone to B-3 and should be considered as such <br />in relation to the comprehensive zoning of the entire <br />village and in relation to the total amount of B-3 land <br />desirable. (Even under the dense B-3 zone it would require <br />l variance). <br />The granting of this variance would require the further <br />granting of a variance in the number of required parking <br />places at some later date.
