Mauer, � advised the Council that he had discussed the rezoning proposal with the ( owner of the property immediately to the east of fir.

At the request of the Mayor the Manager reviewed the zoning and land use on all properties surrounding the Mauer site.

Nesbitt commented that the Comprehensive Guide Plan Map was intended to be a conceptual rather than � a literal display of probable future land use patterns and that any attempt to pull out one parcel , especially one as sr,tall as two acres, and to justify its rezoning on the basis of ti►e Guide Plan map alone would be a serious vrisinterpretation of the Guide Plan objectives. !ir.
