Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z1025-0422, submitted by City of Mesquite, for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the future land use designation from Park, Open Space, Drainage to Light Industrial, and for a change of zoning from R-3, Single Family Residential to Planned Development - Industrial with modified development standards to allow uses permitted in the Industrial zoning district located at 1396 West Scyene Road (also addressed as 201 Gross Road) and 600 Gross Road ( also addressed as 601 Gross Road).
