He stated that the issue began in May 1983 when the Planning Commission considered rezoning a number of properties in the Whiteaker Mixed-Use Area. He said the commission recommended the rezoning of a number of lots to Mixed-Use, excluding Tax Lot 14000, owned by Michael S. Brock, and Tax Lot 3100, one of two adjacent lots owned by Della Davis. He said Ms. Davis, who had not testified at the commis- sion meeting, testified at the June council meeting. The council remanded the matter back to the commission in order to hear testimony from Ms. Davis. At that meeting, Ms. Davis asked that both of her lots be excluded from the rezoning, which the commission recommended to the council. At the subsequent council meeting, Mr. Brock requested that his tax lot be included and Ms. Davis requested that both her lots be included. Mr. Croteau explained that the council approved the inclusion of Mr. Brock's tax lot, contrary to the commission recommen- dation, based on the fact that Mr. Brock's neighbor had dropped his original objection to the rezoning. Mr. Croteau said that the difference in recommenda- tions by the council and the commission was due to a change in circumstances occurring between the various meetings. Mr. Bauske, speaking to the issue of the West 11th Avenue issue, said his position on numerous zone changes in that area was well-known to the commission and council. He said his statement on the Fred Meyer issue was included in the materials distributed. Ms. Mulder said she had attempted to weigh the diagram against the text on strip commercial on West 11th Avenue. She said strip commercial was not to be encouraged, e M1NUTES--City Council/Planning Commission October 19, 1983 Page 2
