Attorney Jerome Quinn came before the Board representing the <br />Vista Royale Owners Committee, which involves about 1,000 people. <br />He stressed that he did not feel there has been a true compromise <br />or a true scaling down of the original request. We still are <br />talking about the same four parcels and a 51 acre commercial <br />node, which Attorney Henderson actually was asking for last time. <br />As to rezoning to CN rather than CN, Attorney Quinn did not <br />believe either is an appropriate use for this area. He called <br />the Board's attention to the language in the Zoning Ordinance <br />which states that "The purpose of CN zoning is to serve primarily <br />the residents of the immediate area." He believed the residents <br />have made it clear they are not looking for service in that <br />particular location. The property owners agree with the position <br />taken by staff in 1983, at which time staff stated that <br />conditions had not changed since the node was not considered <br />appropriate in the Land Use Plan, and they, therefore, believed <br />this was not an appropriate location for a commercial node. <br />Attorney Quinn felt that there already is enough commercial <br />property and commercial nodes in this area and stressed that <br />traffic impact and safety are a permanent concern. He also felt <br />that neither this developer nor anyone else has a vested right in <br />zoning; this is a growing area, and land use philosophy and <br />zoning laws change. When the Comprehensive Plan was profes- <br />sionally developed, the conclusion arrived at was that RM -10 and <br />MD -2 were appropriate designations which were compatible with <br />the surrounding existing uses, and OCR was deemed appropriate on <br />the north side where the sales office and bank were. Attorney <br />Quinn emphasized that the developer is not being deprived nor is <br />his property being confiscated. He has 8 acres of developable <br />property which is zoned OCR, and Attorney Quinn submitted that a <br />commercial node is not appropriate and should be denied. <br />Attorney Henderson informed the Board that his client has a <br />proposal. He asked that the Board keep in mind that this <br />property is immediately across the street from an MXD District <br />31 <br />JUL BOOK 65 �'FmGE 253 <br />
