r I /0 e 2. R-4 District Uses, Commercial Zoning - Planning COnmllssion Report January 10, 1972. The Planning COnmllssion recommended amendment to Section 9.382 of the City Code to allow certain uses under conditional pernrit - barber and beauty shops; delica- tessens; grocery stores; professional offices for accountants, attorneys, physi- cians, osteopaths, dentists, optometrists, opticians, chiropractors, and other state licensees practicing healing arts; and restaurants, except drive-in or walk-up. The amendment also sets criteria to be utilized in permitting the conditional uses. " 'I il ,I :1 II I I; Ii !t I, " Mr. Williams questioned the exclusion of walk-up restaurants, and was informed no eating is allowed inside the building for a walk-up restaurant; problems result- ing from food being eaten outside was the reason for exclusion from uses. Mr. Hershner questioned the requirement that commercial uses must be in con- junction with residential uses except on very small lots, asking if it is neces- sary to make the combination mandatory. The Planning Director said the R-4 zone is basically for housing, but it is felt certain commercial uses should be pro vi ded. e Mr. Williams asked about leeway in granting the conditional permit should a lot be a fraction smaller or larger than the 6000 square feet designated. Planning Director ex plained appeals on size of lot would go to the Zoning Board of Ap- peals and their action would depend on what is presented and cri teriaof variance procedure. ' Further discussion followed with regard to mandatory combination of commercial uses with residential uses on small lots, with understanding a decision on' adoption of the amendment would be in form of a public hearing at the January 24, 1972 Council meeting. I Comm . +/19/7,2 PUb Hrn'g Mr. Williams asked with regard to conditional use permits for non-conforming uses in R-4 zones whether physicians' offices permitted as an outright use would be permitted to continue. He said he feels it is important and should be answered before the ordinance is adopted. The Planning Director said there is no phase-out scheduled; no specific answer so the attorney's opinion would have to prevail. Mr. Pearson said he feels the uses referred to are not non-conforming uses, rather they are conditional uses, and would continue as such with no phasing out intended. But if any expansion is requested, the hearing procedure would have to be followed and a conditional use permit obtained. The purpose of the amendment is to inject vertical zoning into the ordinance. Mr. Otto Poticha, architect, said he feels it appropriate if R-4 zones are to take con- ditional medical uses, that the hospital area should be zoned the same way, and that medical oriented facilities were permitted as an outright use when the hospital project was started. He wondered why architects' offices were not included in the uses permitted under the amendment. (See action on page 1..9 underC.B.9574, Ordinances.) G. Street Name Change - North Shasta Loop (Planning CommissimReport December 13, 1971) The Planning COnmllssion recommended denial of request to change the name of this street located east of East Amazon connecting the south end of Agate Street with East 43rd. A majority of the people with residences on that street and using that address object to any change. I Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to sustain the Planning Commission's recom- mendation (no change). Motion carried unanimously. Comm 1/12/72 Pub Hrng H.

Bufton, north of Wes t 11 th between Wallis and Bertelsen, George Wingard (Planning COnmllssion Report December 14, 1971) - The Planning COnmllssion recommended vacation of this dedicated but unimproved street. The Planning Director said a 100-foot easement is to be dedicated for the Amazon Channel whii:i:h would take care of any remuneration which might be due for the vacated property. (See action on page iq of these minutes under C.B.9576, Ordinances) e Comm 1/12/72 Pub Hrng Comm 1/12/72 Pub Hrng 3. portion Dillard Road at Snell, Gary Parks (Planning COnmllssion Report Decem- ber 28, 1971) - The Planning COnmllssion recommended approval of vacation of this area bordering on an annexation which the Boundary COnmllssion has ordered and which will come into the City unless there is an appeal. I Mr. Williams said it appears that traffic congestion would result since the property lies at the junction of the two streets; he asked if the value of the property to be vacated has been est,Eililished. Public Works Director explained the property is unimproved and vacation would actually improve the traffic situa- tion since it would allow a 90ltdegree intersection instead of the wide "y" type which now exists. He said there has been no appraisal of value. -- 1/24/72 - 3 :,-.; ....
