TITLE
Recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record, conclude the hearing and adopt resolution amending the General Plan from Land Use District (LUD) 11 - Open Space and Parks to Land Use District (LUD) 7 - Mixed Use for a 25-acre parcel at 3860 North Lakewood Boulevard. (District 5)

The Boeing Company is requesting a General Plan Amendment for a 25-acre parcel of land located within the Douglas Aircraft Planned Development District (PD-19).

The amendment also specified certain uses that would not be allowed in the future, including heavy manufacturing, trucking, and storage and warehouse uses.
On May 17, 2012, the Planning Commission considered an updated General Plan Amendment request to change the land use district of Lot D from LUD 11 to LUD 7.
