Gaffron noted that was the only property that was <br />ever zoned RR-1B-1 and it simply allowed study and research centers in that two acre single-family zone. <br />The Spring Hill Conference Center went away approximately 15 years ago and became a golf course. <br />Gaffron indicated there has never been any property before that and since that has been zoned RR-1B-1 <br />so Staff recommends that be eliminated from the City Code.
