BACKGROUND INFORMATION 4. January 26, 1994: Effective date of Ordinance No. 94 06, which rezoned approximately 26,770 square feet of land from Single-Family Residential-10,000 square feet(RS-10)to General Commercial-10,000 square feet (CG-10). (P.D. Exhibit 2- Ordinance No. 94 06) 5. February 15, 1995: Final Plan Approval issued by the Planning Director for an approximately 13,000-square foot office building and related improvements. Section 25- 2-7 of the Zoning Code states that whenever an approval, such as a Final Plan Approval, has not been utilized within two years from the date of approval, the Director shall initiate proceedings to invalidate the approval.
