In arguing that point at that time, Mr. Grefenberg opined that it was 21 his understanding that the existing Target Big Box store would be grandfathered in if its site 22 was designated Community Business.,but thus any future expansion would be precluded if the 23 site was so designated Community Business.. Mr. Grefenberg opined that at that time he was 24 not arguing that Target was a community business, but that by designating the Target site 25 Community Business future Big Box development would be prohibited. In what he described 26 as the a grand compromise, Mr. Grefenberg opined that it had been determined to leave the 27 definitions of Community Business and Regional Business as is but designate the Target site 28 Regional Business, and as a compromise he accepted it. ,•30 - - - - - - .• . . •.. , - • _ - . . - . . . . - .:: .
