e e - Harold Chatman, 51 Chapman Drive, stated that he supported the rezoning. He said a pub ic need for the redevelopment of the subject property exists because of strong economic pressure for strip commercial development further north on River Road. He said he believes that the rezoning will prevent additional pressure for strip commercial development in the north Santa Clara area. He added that the redevelopment of the subject property offers an opportunity to provide Santa Clara residents with additional commercial facilities without invading another portion of River Road. He hoped the council will use the opportunity and will approve the rezoning. There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. CB 2713--An ordinance authorizing rezoning from County RA Suburban Residential District to City C-2/SR Community Commercial District with Site Review procedures and application of Outlying Commercial Sign District for property located south of Green Lane on the east side of River Road. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, that findings supporting the rezoning as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of December 6, 1983, be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council; and that enactment be considered at this time. Mr. Obie asked the Planning Commission to take special note of the Sign District and try to relate it to the balance of River Road that has historically been in the city. He said he believes that the balance of River Road is Highway-Oriented, while the subject property is Outlying Comloercial. He felt that a conversation on the appropriateness of either of the two Sign Districts would be appropriate to achieve some consistency in the City's decision making. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0. Council Bill 2713 was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19216). D.
