Rezoning property at the intersection of Cheshire and North Lawrence - From R-2 to R-3 SR (Majors) (Z 75- 3) Recommended by the Planning Commission October 27, 1975. Jim Saul, planner, noted this high-density use request first came before the Planning Commission in April. At that time the Planning Commission recommended a plan amendment, involving a larger area west of Skinner's Butte Park. On July 14, 1975, Council adopted the recommended amendment. The amendment was referred to Lane County and Springfield, who did not object, and September 25 it was incorporated into the 1990 Plan by LCOG. The Planning Commission then approved the zone change on October 27, stipulating site review procedures for the following areas of concern : Compatability with surroundings; efficient, workable and safe interrelationships among building, parking, circulation and open space and landscaped areas; structures designed, sized and shaped in scale and harmony with intended uses and resulting in a pleasant environment for living; safe and efficient ingress, egress and on-site traffic circulation. e No ex parte contacts or other conflicts of interest were declared by Council members. Public hearing was opened. I-A-l Bruce H. Anderson, 101 E. Broadway, asked that the April 1 and October 27 Planning Commission minutes be incorporated into the record. The Majors' intent, he said, is to design multifamily housing with units for the elderly and handicapped. The Majors will be applying to HUD for funding and other funding will be sought if that is not available. The location is important in that the ground is flat which is convenient for elderly and handicapped. Parks, public facilities and mass transit are convenient to the proposed site. Public hearing was closed.
