Premier Maintenance - Rezoning — Landscaping yard and nursery with office space and storage for Premier Maintenance and Landscapes
Premier Maintenance and Landscapes seeks to rezone 4.29 acres from rural residential to major street commercial to establish a headquarters facility with landscaping yard, nursery, storage, and office space on Highway 93. The site is currently an abandoned rock yard with dual highway access; development will require well and septic systems pending future public utility extension. The rezoning is consistent with the town's General Plan designation of Highway Commercial, though neighboring residents raised concerns about aesthetic impact and water quality in the well-served area.

The changes modify the existing PD terms rather than requesting a full rezoning to a different district.
