and the petitioner were present. The Radisson Hotel Corp. would be the owners;
and operators of the offsale liquor store. They stated that after studying theStaff's report and further discussions, they concurred with -the Staff's suggested
second approach of deferring action and waiting until action had been taken on the
request to rezone this land to be consistent wits, the Land Use Guide Pian. They
were in agreement with the proposal to rezone this land to 8-1 (Limited Business)
