Contiguity is not established by a road, waterway, right-of-way, easement, railroad track, marshland, or utility line which connects one property to another; however, if the connecting road, waterway, easement, railroad track, marshland, or utility line intervenes between two properties, which but for the intervening connector would be adjacent and share a continuous border, the intervening connector does not destroy contiguity.
STAFF ANALYSIS: 1. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The subject property is currently zoned General Commercial District (B-3). 2. Proposed Land Use and Zoning: The proposal is to rezone the property to Industrial District (B-6). 3.
