Mr. Mulder asked that the petition be referred back to the Planning Commission. He said the Planning Commission felt rezoning to R-3 would be issuing a "blank check" to the 23 individual properties involved in the petition. He suggested the area might be>:oet,ter suited to a low-cost housing development and suggested that an appli- cation for that type development could be worked out upon referral. Staff opinion was that. Council had obligation to take action on the R-3 request sub- . mitted and that any future request should come back through the Planning Commission in the normal procedure. Referral to the Commission at this point would occur only if the Council differs with the Commission recommendation. Mr. Mulder called the petition unique in that it was filed by 23 applicants and involved 23 separate legal descriptions which would entail considerable time and effort if a new application were to be filed. Staff felt agreement between the 23 petitioners on an amended proposal would be no more difficult. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to deny the r~zoning requested. Councilman McDonald said he felt the propo~al in a way does constitute strip zoning. He commented on the normal procedure of referral only in the event of disagreement on a zoning issue and felt these requirements should be met. Vote was taken on the motion to deny. Motion carried unanimously. I D.
