He believes their properties aze zoned residential and light industrial and feels there is a higher and better use for the properties as they aze conveniently located near highways. The residents would like the ability to sell their properties to a developer. Councilman Nashaz explained that the property owners could make application for a rezoning. At this point in time, the city is not planning to do rezoning in that area. Councilman Limpert said he believed Council was open to a zoning change. However, he did not think it was a good idea to change the zoning now and then have to change it again in a few years when a developer comes forwazd with a plan that might require a different zoning. Law Director Dubelko noted that the Council and/or the Planning Commission could initiate a change of zoning in the area. Notice would have to be provided to the property owners. _ ~;~, .
