Jack Mattis, representing the owners and Mr. VonKlein, presented a petition favoring the change of zone. He said a fourplex is planned for the property which would cause minimum disruption to the surrounding area. In answer to Mr. Williams, Manager described the surrounding uses and paid the City has no long-range plans for the area. He said the Commission asked that the School District ,be contacted with regard to the possibility of acquiring the land for some public use~' possibly housing. ' Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner that the rezoning to R-2 be denied. Motion carried unanimously. 11. Rezoning from RA to R-2 SR area northeast of Mistletoe Street and 15th Avenue - Bonson - Planning Commission recommended denial on December 19, 1972. Mr. Bonson reviewed Planning Commission minutes covering dis~sion of this rezoning request. He said Planning staff spoke of the property in relation to that to the east, whereas he felt it should be related to Bailey Hill so far as traffic and access are, concerned. He added the argument that services are already available to the area, ..,traffic should not be a problem because of the planned improvement of Bailey Hill Road, and he described the development proposed for the property. He ask~d' that the rezoning be referred back to the Planning Staff to allow an oppor- tunity to work out a density which would be suitable. In answer to Councilman McDonald, Mr. Bonson said plans are not worked out with staff prior to Council con- sideration as they are when requesting a PUD.' ,Louis Roberts, 1422 Quaker Street, asked favorable action on the request to refer back to the Planning staff. He felt apartment use for the property would be an im- provement to his adjacent property. He asked that screenirrg be required along the property line if the rezoning is approved. Lucille Fitch, 3489 West 15th Avenue, opposed the rezoning. She remarked on past discussion of uses for the area and said there are too many apartments there now. She felt multiple-family use would add to the schools' burden. Mr. Williams asked if there was any indication the Planning Commission would change its recommendation if the item was sent back. Manager said the problem could be approached differently. The petitioner understands preliminary approval is necessary for a PUD, and there is nothing in this action which would prevent him from pursuing that type of development. Or further proposals could be presented which would make the proposed development acceptable under R-2 with site review. It was understood another petition would have to be filed. Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner that the R-2 SR rezoning be denied. Motion carried unanimously. 12. Rezoning from RA to R-2 SR area west of Luella Street and Van Avenue intersection - Bonson - Planning Commission recommended denial on December 19, 1972. Mr. Bonson said 20 units are proposed for the property, but Planning staff maintained that it would landlock property to the rear. He felt sure the owners would put a 50-foot roadway to that property if it was required for rezoning. Leonard Frojen, 350 Van Avenue, opposed the rezoning on the basis that it would add too much to the densit~ of the area where many Changes have already added mul tiple- family developments.
