No new development is planned for either of these parcels.The two parcels of land identified in the condition of the CUP are to be rezoned as Planned Unit Development (PUD). The PUD zoning designation will accommodate the needs of the applicant to continue their existing electrical transmission service and will allow the city additional oversight on these properties. These parcels represent the final Public Service Company parcels south of 104th Avenue that are currently not annexed into the city.
