options open.Commissioner Schmidt explained that if the commission approved the rezoning with an
R-4 district instead ofthe R-3 district the Gabus family was asking for,a site plan for condos could be
considered at a later date and the R-4 zoning could be rezoned to an R-3A zoning district.Motion by
