- back away from a difficult decision, but should act in light of the - goals they have set. Ms. Smith agreed, and said she supported the request, although she realized the neighbors might be uncomfortable. Mr. Lieuallen asked if another zone beside R-3 would accommodate a duplex, and was told that the square-foot requirements prohibited an R-2 zone. There is some question whether an RG zone would permit a duplex. Mr. Delay remarked that this case illustrates the problems with the existing code. He said that in addition to the goal of infilling, there are other goals, such as preserving the quality of the neighborhood. This is not a building permit, but a zone change, and preserving the character of the neighborhood is important. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that findings supporting the rezoning, as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of July 10, 1979, 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. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote. Motion passed 4:3. Councilors Miller, Lieuallen and Delay voting no. The bill was declared passed and numbered 18494. 2. Property located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Bailey Hill Road and Westleigh Street from RA Suburban Residential e District to RP Residential Professional District for Tax Lot 400, and from RP/SR Residential Professional District with Site Review Procedures to C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District for Tax Lots 600 and 601, including Sign District boundary designation change from Residential to Integrated Shopping District (Landress) (Z 79-14) Manager presented topic. Mr. Saul said the zone change involves 2.8 acres; of that, 1.72 acres would be rezoned from RP/SR to C-1, and the remaining area would be rezoned from RA to RP/SR. The property is located south of the Westleigh Shopping Center. The purpose of the change is to allow expansion of the center which is recognized as a relatively small one, given the size and population of the area it serves. It is the only vacant property contiguous with the center which could be considered for expansion of the commercial area. Property to the south is developed in single-family residences; property to the east is part of an approved PUD; property to the west is the site of Churchill High School. The principal item of discus- sion of the Planning Commission concerned public need. The Commission recommended approval of the zone change request as did the staff. e 9/10/79--3 ~93
