E. M. .Matthews, 2935 Portland Street, objected to the multiple-family zoning, saying apartment housing would lower property values. It was his understanding that cost for construction of a cul-de-sac would be charged to abutting properties. Manager explained that cul-de-sac construction was not required as a part of the present recommendation. Mr.. Matthews requested construction of a fence between his property and that on which rezoning is requested if apartment houses are built. He felt that ,would prevent anticipated vandalism on his property. .: Harold Wald, 2973 Portland Street, also expressed opposition to the rezoning and presented letters from other residents of the area objecting to apartment construction on the basis that it would add traffic and there is ample multiple- family housing in the area now. Public hearing was closed. Council Bill No. 262 - Rezoning to R-2-4 SR area located on east side of Portland Street between 29th/Avenue and 30th Avenue was submitted and read by council bill .number and title only, -there being- no councilman present requesting that it be read in full. Councilwoman Campbell and Councilman Murray expressed a desire to view the property in question. Jim Saul, planner, explained in answer to Mr. Murray that under the R-2-4 zoning approximately nine units would be permitted on four contiguous parcels, this in comparison to about 20 which,would have been allowed under the RG recom- mended when the matter was previously before the Council. .,; Mrs. Wald requested that their property be fenced also, if the Matthews property was to be fenced. Manager explained that the Council does have authority to re- quire fences under the site review conditions if they are needed and desirable. It was understood that C.B.262 would be held to give opportunity for Council members to view the area under consideration. 2.

That contract was completed May 1, 1973. It provides . that proposed use of the property will be discontinued by December 31,1990 at which time the use will revert to whatever is appropriate in accordance with the then adopted General Plan. Proposed use at this time is to expand Steel Fabricators building eastward. Commission felt there would be conflict between this heavy in-.' dustrial use and adjacent R-2 and RA zones, but the heavy industrial use is in "'_, existence and it seemed that an amortization period would best resolve the conflict.
