'" "- Councilman Williams expressed strong interest in the rezoning request and asked Council's .p,ermission' to. speak to it even. ,though he said there would be conflict of interest. Mrs. Campbell asked if, in taking the request back to the Planning Commission and the posstbility of the property's being rezoned, it 'is realized the 1990 General Plan would have to be amended. . Councilman Mohr was concerned with taking action on the request witnout'ktiowing details of the petition and felt discussion with the Planning Commissionwouilld be helpful. Planning Director called attention to the- fact that public hearing was advertised and official notice given for discussion at this meeting, whereupon Mr. Mohr with . consent of the second withdrew the motion to refer to a joint meeting. Craig Robinson, president 'of Citizen's Bank, said their position is that the Plan- t ning Commission and staff did not fully consider that the application'was for RP zoning. Rather he felt the entire consideration centered around whether commercial zoning should be allowed on that property. He argued that use of that CO!Dner under residential-professional planned development would be better than multiple housing on such a busy intersection. He asked for an opportunity to discuss the request at a work session to negotiate a solution for development of thts corner in the best in~~ests of the City and the petitioners. John Axtell, 2573 Sharon Way, objected to the propos.;J.l, saying that any type of commercial use for the property would increase the traffic hazard at that inter- section. In answer to Mrs. Campbell, Mr. Robinson said no other commercially zoned locations in that area appear suitable for their purposes. He said the question is one of commercial vs residential, and their application was filed on the basis of the Code definition of RP Residential Professional uses. He doesn't se~ the proposal as being in conflict with the 1990 Plan and felt their plans were flexible enough to enable resolution of any questions in a work session. . Councilman McDonald commented on the traffic situation at Coburg and Cal Young and wondered whether a meeting with the Planning Commission would accomplish anything. He said he would uphold their recommendatlon 'for denial. :3 '2.1 11/6/72 - 5
