ZONING HISTORY
The six subject parcels front Lawrenceville Highway and are surrounded by Commercial Business zoning and a mix of commercial and residential uses. The subject site exists within the U.S. 29 Overlay District. The parcels were zoned CB prior to 2011 and have not seen zoning action in over a decade. Parcels 008 and 009 are vacant, parcels 010 and 011 have residential structures with office uses, and parcels 012 and 013 are occupied by a landscape nursery operating out of several residential structures.
