Johnston, Agent for American Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc., to rezone a parcel of land on the west side of George Washington Highway and north of the Portsmouth City limits, deferred from the Public Hearing of November 13, 1984. submitted the following letter: "During the November 13 Public Hearing on a rezoning request for property located on George Washington Highway, questions were raised regarding applicable fire safety codes as well as appropriate land use from an economic development standpoint. As you will recall, the property for which rezoning was requested abuts the ~a~cel o~cur pied by Suburban Propane. That area was annexed by the City of Portsmouth in 1960. Since that time Suburban Propane has consistently met fire code requirements and has been most co- operative with the Fire Department with regard to safety guidelines. Additionally, Suburban Propane is the source of approximately $10,400 in annual City revenues in the form of real estate, business personal property and license taxes. Although Suburban Propane has maintained an excellent record of f%re safety, several L.P. gas storage tanks are located at its George Washington Highway site. For this reason, Chief Odell Benton recommends against allowing the construction of group housing adjacent to that property. It is possible that residential development of the parcel might produce a higher per acre valUe than a light industrial use for which the property is presently zoned. However, due to the size and location of the parcel, it may be marketable for light industry, although marketability for that purpose may be difficult." On motion of Mr. Corprew and seconded by Mr. Whitlow, Z 84-11 to rezone a parcel of land on the west side of George Washington Highway and north of the Portsmouth City limits, the following ordinance was approved on first reading by unanimous vote: "ZONING AMENDMENT ORDINANCE Z 84-11"
