STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request to accommodate a food processing center. There are
limited options for new industrial projects within the City and these rezonings would provide more industrial
land.

DELIBERATION
I move that the request to rezone the properties at 731 Yuba St, 205 E Muskegon Ave, 287 E Muskegon Ave
and 225 Eastern Ave from B-4, General Business to I-1, Light Industrial be recommended to the City
Commission for (approval/denial).
