BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF
THE CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY:
SECTION 1.
The Board of Commissioners finds,
relative to the proposed amendment, as follows:
1. There has been a substantial change in the
neighborhood by the rezoning of adjoining property and the
construction of the racetrack and related facilities.
2. The present R-3 Zone consists of a small
island in a large B-3 tract of land which would deprive the
property owner of uses of his property which are available
to a great number of surrounding property owners.
3. The development of the racetrack and other
businesses in the area makes the property unsuitable for
residential development, and the property owner would be
deprived of any economic use of his property if the zoning
request is not granted.
