DENSITY ZONING, EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHEAST CORNER, WHICH IS C-1. MS. RENNA CONTINUED THAT THE STAFF RECOMMENDS REZONING TO R -2B BECAUSE IT WOULD BE AN UPGRADING TO THE EXISTING ZONING; IT WOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING EXISTING ZONING; AND IT ALSO WOULD SERVE AS A TRANSITIONAL AREA BETWEEN R-1 AND C-1. THE PRESENT COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN SHOWS THIS AREA AS MEDIUM DENSITY, AND THE MASTER PLAN WHICH IS BEING PREPARED PROPOSED THIS PARCEL TO BE AT THE SOUTHEAST END OF THE URBAN INTENSIVE AREA AROUND THE 20TH AVENUE/OSLO ROAD INTERSECTION. PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER EXPLAINED THAT THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE WILL NOT CHANGE THE DENSITY, BUT JUST THE TYPE OF HOUSING ALLOWED. HE DID FEEL IT WOULD ALLOW A BETTER CONTROL OVER THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE PRESENT WISHED TO BE HEARD. THERE WERE NONE. LEONARD HATALA, PARTNER OF THE APPLICANT, FELT THE REQUEST WAS SELF-EXPLANATORY AND THAT IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER FOR THE COMMUNITY TO HAVE GOOD QUALITY APARTMENTS THAN A MOBILE HOME PARK. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT THE JOG,IN THE UPPER CORNER THAT IS NOT TO BE REZONED, WILL REMAIN IN COMMERCIAL. PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER STATED THAT APPLICANT WHO OWNS THAT PIECE ALSO DOES NOT WISH IT CHANGED FROM COMMERCIAL. IT IS NOT DEVELOPED AT THIS TIME. MR. MANN INFORMED THE BOARD THAT FOR TEN YEARS HE HAS OWNED THE COMMERCIALLY ZONED END OF BLOCK D, WHICH ADJOINS THE LITTLE NOTCH OF COMMERCIAL OWNED BY THE APPLICANT. HE USES IT AS COMMERCIAL AND. DOES NOT WANT THE COMMERCIAL ZONING CHANGED. MR. REVER FURTHER NOTED THAT CONSIDERATION IS BEING GIVEN TO HAVING A SCHOOL SITE IN THIS AREA, AND STAFF HAS TAKEN THIS INTO CONSIDERATION ALONG WITH OTHER CONSIDERATIONS FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. 904-0 WWI 75 MOK 4.3 FacE 41,99
