Swallows Creek/Fluidmaster rezone to Commercial Manufacturing

The rezone lets the Rancho Viejo industrial properties host a broader mix of commercial uses — recreational and sports facilities were the driver — while removing adult-oriented businesses as a permitted use. Neighbors' noise and parking impacts would be reviewed case-by-case.
