Item No. 2 <br /> PC : 5-21-87 <br />{ UP-87-12 <br /> Page 3 <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The subject property was rezoned from RR-100 (Rural Residential ; <br /> 100,000-square-foot minimum lot size) to C-1 (Neighborhood <br /> Commercial) by the Board of Supervisors on April 16, 1987 .
