Adding Section 9.485 - Special Development District (SD) Recommended by the Planning Commission on July 30, 1973. The District would "- . encourage development or redevelopment of areas which possess unique man~made or material features which require special consideration. To qualify for de- velopment under this regulation an area must be shown to meet criteria listed in the Planning Commission minutes, copies of which were previously furnished to Council members. Public hearing was opened. Otto Poticha, 1820 Kona Street, spoke in favor of the proposed amendment. He said it would be very difficult to develop an area deserving special considera- tion under the present zoning regulations, because the things which should be saved would, actually be destroyed. The proposed district would automatically embody and incorporate what the Council is attempting to do with regard to restoration or preservation, using buildings in a productive manner rather than as museums. He added that the local membership of the AlA supports the amendment. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented.
