SEP 2 41980 Boa ' 44 pAcE 700 <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF IT WOULD BE OUT OF ORDER FOR <br />THE BOARD TO SET A HEARING TO REZONE THE R-2 PRESENTLY EXISTING ON THE <br />BEACH IN THE NORTH COUNTY AREA. HE NOTED THAT WHAT WE ARE TALKING <br />ABOUT ON THE PRESENT REQUESTED REZONING IS SMALL COMPARED TO THE OPEN <br />HAZARD WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WITH THE R-2 THAT SHOWS ON THE ZONING MAP. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS SUGGESTED, IF THE BOARD IS INTERESTED IN <br />DOING THAT, THAT THEY SHOULD DIRECT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO STUDY <br />THAT AREA AND COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION. HE FELT WE WOULD <br />PROBABLY HAVE A LAWSUIT ON IT AND SHOULD HAVE THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT'S <br />INPUT. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT BASICALLY IS WHAT WE <br />ARE DOING WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS REITERATED THAT THAT EXISTING R-2 IS <br />A HOT SPOT AND POTENTIALLY A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN THE REZONING <br />DISCUSSED THIS MORNING. HE FELT MAKING THE DENSITIES ON THE NORTH <br />BEACH A FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT MAY BE <br />ONE WAY TO BRING THIS TO A HEAD. <br />COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT THE ZONING COMMISSION HAS <br />WORKED WITH THIS FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND ARE MUCH CLOSER TO THE <br />PROBLEM. SHE STATED THAT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THEY HAVE IN FRONT <br />OF THEM, SHE WOULD NOT WANT TO DIRECT THEM TO DO ANYTHING ELSE AT <br />THIS TIME. <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF THE BOARD COULD GIVE A LITTLE <br />MORE THOUGHT TO THE IDEA THAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO ACCELERATE OUR CON- <br />SIDERATION OF THIS AREA TO KEEP US FROM HAVING A HIGHER DENSITY <br />THAN HE BELIEVED THE BOARD REALLY WANTS. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE AGREED THAT WE DONT WANT 15 UNITS AN <br />ACRE UP THERE, BUT STATED HE REALLY WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE <br />GOING TO DO WITH THE ENTIRE NORTH BEACH AREA RATHER THAN JUST LOOK <br />AT THE R-2. <br />� � s <br />
