In answer to Councilman Hershner, Mr. Saul explained acreages involved in the Murphy rezoning (1. 5) and in the current recommendsation (4+). Mr.'Keller expressed his opposition to the Commission's recommendation for residential -- zoning, saying it seemed to be a golden opportunity to make "all" of, the taxpayers -= happy since there were 'none present speaking in favor of the recommendation. Councilwoman Campbell wondered why the Planning Commission picked~this particular area to bring consistency with the General Plan. Manager said the Commission for some time informally expressed its concern about unused commercial'land in this area. When the Murphy rezoning request was presented the Commission 'looked at the surrounding prop- erties, and that triggered the present recommendation. There is no specific long-range plan with regard to changing zones to bring conformance with the General Plan.
