And Kyra's gonna start us off on this.

On this one uh first hearing is VZA 26-41 Sitka nursery for conditional use.

Uh it's uh request for Wolf Creek Landscape Services, LLC uh for a conditional use approval to allow a greenhouse and plant nursery in agriculture uh preferred uh zoning district, and this uh property is located at 941 North 500 West in Harrison Township.

Kyra.

Well, I apologize.

I'm just now noticing it says 39.90, and it should be 34.90 acres.

Staff report has it correctly, so all right.

So this is looking at the property location and the surrounding zoning.

And uh as you can see, this is uh outlined in yellow or outlined in yellow, and it has site in the middle of it.

So it's a large site.

Some of you might be familiar with it because uh we've had some rezoning there just directly to its west and to its south, it's RS4.

Um there's also some multi-family there, the Belmont, but the majority of the property all around this is uh zoned AP agriculture preferred, as is the subject site.

Uh when we do conditional uses, we always look at what the future uh land use map has for this property, and the property is outlined there in red, and the future land use is agriculture and a uh flood waste sensitive area.

So the conditional request, uh the applicants are requesting to have a plant nursery and landscape services business on the 34.9 acre site.

Currently there is a single family dwelling.

There are two barns and some other smaller storage sheds that exist on this property.

Um the conditional use for the nursery is something that is allowed um through the zoning ordinance, uh section 3.5B.
