to be faced by the Council in the future. He noted the guidelines by which such a determination culd be made - population to support neighborhood commercial activities, distance between various commercial centers, etc. -, Councilman Haws declared his intent not to participate in discussion or vote on this issue. He felt that because he had dealt with this issue in the past he should abstain in order to present an appearance of fairness. Public hearing was opened. Speaking in favor of the zone change were Douglas Brown, 72 West Broadway, re- presenting-Paul Hansen, the applicant; Mazie Venable, 1270 Jacobs Drive,#A-lO; Ken Nagao, 388 High Street, architect; and Don and Linda Hatfield, 2189 Dewey Street, Active Bethel Citizens. Mr. Brown noted that need for the change had been shown in testimony before the Planning Commission. Also, that appli- cants would agree to the C-l SR zone recommended by staff. Mrs. Venable was in favor of the change becuase commercial activities would benefit those elderly people within walking distance who were not able to travel to other parts of the city for shopping services. Mr. Magao said that the design of the proposed facility would maintain safety for pedestrians and character of the neighborhood. Mr. Hatfield said the C-2 zoning was requested so that certain services could be provided. Howeve~ they felt that conditional uses under C-l would accommodate those services. With regard to Councilman Murray's concern about whether there was need for commercial activities, he said the Bethel/Danebo area was the fastest growing area in the city and there was no way of knowing how much commercial activity it would support until it stopped growing, so there was probably no way the question could be answered. e, Public hearing was closed there being no further testimony presented.
