Property owner sought to rezone land adjacent to industrial park known as the Blue Sky Rural Activity Center ("Blue Sky") to be included as part of the park in order to develop land for light industrial use. Property had been designated as a buffer zone between Blue Sky and rural agricultural land. The Urban County Planning Commission denied the application because development of the land would increase surface water runoff, traffic hazards, water and light pollution, and would alter the visual and aesthetic character of the rural area. Property owner appealed.
