Mot~on carr~e unan~~ous y. , .- -" - - I. iAppeal, Denial of Zone Change Request, North of Green Acrfls'Road east of Delta ,Highway - From RA to RG-SR (Safley-M&M) - Council took action on July 22 upholding Planning Commission denial of requested zone change and instructed staff to prepare statement of findings for consideration at the August 12 Council meeting. In the meantime planning staff reported that Mr. Safley had contacted owners of property in that area in an effort to co~ordinate planning of the overall area and resolve the conflict between the industrial and residential uses. Apparently there was potential for a mutually acceptable plan for use in guiding development in that area, and planning staff asked authorization to suspend action on developing find- ingsto see whether something oould be develope~ for presentation to the Planning ~ Commission for recommendation. Jim Saul, planner, said that withdrawal of the ,., application for RG-SR zoning was anticipate(l with submission of another in a relatively short time. Mrs. Beal moved seconded,by Mr. Murrgy, to table the matter until~further report "from-'the/ planning department. Councilman Murray expressed his approval of any attempt to do something about the overall plan for the area, especially with regard to the County's plans. Manager explained that uses of land on the west side of Delta Highway probably became confused because of commitments made prior to adoption of the 1990 Plan. Commitment~ to industrial uses in that area were probably not fully appreciated when the Plan suggested medium density residential uses for the property east jof Delta. Assistant City Attorney cautioned that the discussion might be getting into issues falling within Fasano guidelines and he suggested limiting it to procedural matters unless it was decided to reopen the hearing. Comm i Vote was taken on the motion to table. Motion carried unanimously. 7/31/74 - See _action _ page 18 -~ Manager suggested postponement of thi.s rezoning issue to the, first Council meeting in February 1975 rather than tabling ind~finitely for a report from the Planning Commission since the issue was one falling under the Fasano guidelines.

Mr. Moulton requested recommendation \ to the Boundary Commission for tabling of the'request. Staff recommended approval.! I Mr. Wood moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to recommend to the Boundary / Commission that the Doerksen annexation request be tabled. Councilwoman Beal remarked that the request was odd in view of Mr. Moulton's many appearances before the CQuncil requesting a favorable recommendation on the annexation to expedite action before the Boundary Commission.~ Mayor Anderson thought the letter requesting tabling gave insufficient reason for the-action. He thougbt Mr. Moulton should be asked to explain the petitioner's intentions , when the matter came to the regular Council meeting. Councilman Wood agreed but! added that the Boundary Commission could resolve nothing anyway until the Plan- ning Commission discussions on the Livingston & Blayney report were completed. i ._ ' Other Council members agreed but were curious about why the tabling request was i 1It submitted.
