RE: Future Land Use Map Amendment Request

Dear Director:

I respectfully request a future land use map amendment of the subject property from commercial-professional to industrial for the following reason:

1.  I wish to develop a bakery on the site.

2.  The Site is currently served by City sewer and water and has ample capacity for this use.

3.  The site is located on major roadways for convenient access. The roads are four-lane and will easily accommodate the estimated twenty (20) trucks that will come to the plant daily.

4.  Industrial land use is compatible with the surrounding commercial properties.

5.  This use will provide many jobs to area residents. The site is conveniently located to areas of multi-family development.

Thank you for your consideration of this amendment.

Sincerely,

Joe C. Doe
