Summary
A developer requested rezoning a 2.24-acre vacant commercial parcel at 3601 Towne Boulevard from B-2 to B-3 to allow a Flying Ace express car wash. City staff and the planning commission opposed the change, noting it conflicted with the comprehensive plan's vision for a pedestrian-oriented entertainment district at the Town Mall and amounted to spot zoning.
