BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
Official notice for the public hearing for PZC 20-1-008 was published in the Daily Herald on Thursday, January 30, 2020.

The building at 1960 Lucent Lane is currently vacant as Nokia consolidated its workforce into the 2000 Lucent Lane office building.
The petitioner, Nokia of America Corporation, intends to sell the subject property and in order to facilitate the sale, requests to subdivide the property into 3 lots and 1 outlot. Lot 1 is an existing electric utility facility. The proposed Lot 2 will include the improvements on 1960 Lucent Lane, which will be renovated and leased to multiple office tenants. Lot 3 will consist of the 2000 Lucent Lane improvements and will be leased back to Nokia. Lot 4 is intended to be sold for future development.
