I - Public Hearings A. Rezoning 1. Roosevelt Boulevard between Lassen and Foch (Olsen)(Z 74-26) _ From RA to RG-SR Recommended by the Planning Commission October 28, 1974.

No ex parte contacts or other reason for conflict of interest were declared, other than Council members Haws and Shirey stating their intent to abstain from discussing or voting on the issue. Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of October 8 and October 28, 1974 were made a part of this record by reference thereto. Public'hearing was opened. Frank Bonson, 1677 Coburg Road, designer representing the developer, said,they had worked closely with the pl~ning depart~ent and 'were in full agreement with recommendations set out in planhing department reports. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony. Councilman Bradley asked in what way, this proposal was inconsistent with the General Plan. Mr. Saul answered that it was the Commission's determination that the proposal was not inconsistent ~ith the General Plan. TheYlan, he said, does treat this area as a redevelopment area but that was conditioned on the extension of Highway 126 through the area. The Commission felt that extension could not reasonably be anticipated because of the substantial questions involv- ing voter approval, funding, etc.', so the designation as a redevelopment area was not appropriate. Mr. Bradley thought then it would be better to have a Plan amendment rather than rezoning. Mr. Saul said the Commission's position was that a Plan amendment was not necessary in view of the character of surrounding zoning and development,' particularly to the north. Council Bill No. 711 - Rezoning property north of Roosevelt Boulevard between Lassen Street and Foch Street to RG-SR was read by council bill number and title only, there being no.Council members present requesting that it be read in full. Mr. Murray moved seconded 'by Mr. Keller that findings supporting the rezoning as set out in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of October 8 and 28, 1975 be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous " 1/27/75 - 1
