BelRock Services LLC was seeking the rezoning to allow parking of its blacktopping trucks and equipment.

It wasn’t the use that drew the concern but allowing industrial zoning in a primarily agricultural area.

Interim Planning Director Kathy Miller said the comprehensive plan called for mixed use – commercial and residential – on the 4.4-acre parcel in question. “I-2 is not consistent with the comprehensive plan,” she said.

She added that the kind of development recommended in the comp plan was better for the I-90, Irene Road area. “We’re working very hard to complete that interchange,” she said.
