SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Aztec Properties, LLC, is requesting approval of a

preliminary plat includes a total of two (2) lots for future

in area and Lot 2 is proposed to be 1.96-acres in area. The lots currently
existing as Lots 12 and 13 of Westgate Business Park Plat 2. The
proposed plat would make Lot 12 smaller and Lot 13 larger. No public
improvements are required at this time for the plat.
The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed this proposal at their
meeting on August 14, 2018, and recommended approval. The plat that
the Commission review included two additional lots to the west that
