changing the zoning on the front 10 acres today because we never made a transmittal to the state recommending that. Director Keating noted that the state does not consider zoning at all; they only consider the Land Use Plan and OCR is consistent with commercial. Argument continued regarding what can be considered today and exactly what was transmitted to the state. Director Keating clarified that staff submitted to the state the request to redesignate up to the 17.9 acres, but the staff recommendation to the Board was for half of that. Acting Administrator Collins contended that the zoning can't be changed to OCR today because there is nothing advertised, and Attorney Vitunac agreed that normally our advertisements say we recommend a rezoning to a certain category or a category in the same general heading but of a lesser intensity. This ad does not include the language "or any other lesser zoning," and he, therefore, felt to be cautious we should not consider the OCR today. The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard. Attorney O'Haire wished to point out that the property owner did indeed create this situation. The owner has always maintained their commercial zoning at this corner and in this area. He believed everyone who purchased from the owner had knowledge of that property and its zoning designation, and this is an appeal to change what has been historically in place for decades. It was determined that no one further wished to be heard, and the Chairman thereupon declared the public hearing closed. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, to approve staff recommendation to change the Land Uge designation for the easternmost 7.4 acres from Commercial to MD -2 and rezone that acreage from CL to RM -10 and to retain the Commercial SEP 19 43 Bole~ 74 ufF.
