He didn't anticipate that the entire piece of property would be developed in the next three to six months, but he thought it important to look at this zone change as a basic change that would start the development of medium-density housing in the northern Goodpasture Island area. - Vote was taken on the motion for adoption of findings and second reading as stated. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that the bill be approved and given final passage. Rollcall vote. All'Council members present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 17635. 3. Southwest corner of Clark and Lawrence - From R-2 to R-3 PD (Ansola)(Z 76-5) Recommended by the Planning Commission on April 13, 1976. Jim Saul, planner, described this property as a quarter-block of about a half-acre lying in an area covered by an amendment to the General Plan adopted in September 1975 where high- density was felt appropriate rather than the previous medium-density designation. Limitations adopted at the time of the amendment were that (1) maximum density would be 36 units per acre; (2) minimum area to be considered for anyone zone change would be a quarter-block of contiguous property; (3) site ~eview or planned unit development procedures would be required, primarily PUD when residential zoning abuts industrial zoning. Since this property abuts industrial zoning, the Commission attached the PUD requirement for review prior to actual development. Maximum number of units would be 17 per acre. I-B-3 No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by Council members. Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of April 13, 1976 were received as part of this record by reference thereto. P~blic hearing was opened. a Max Ansola, 2601 Laurelhill Drive, owner of the property, called attention to the property's location near to the downtown area with all urban services available. Suzanne Bier, 410 Clark Street, commented on the unique location - bounded by a freeway and Skinner Butte - with only Lawrence Street as a way out, and that street already heavily loaded with traffic. She felt allowing 17 units per acre at that location would create a hazard. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented. Council Bill No. 1140 - Rezoning southwest corner of Clark Street and Lawrence Street to R-3 PD was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Council member present re- questing that it be read in full. Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Hamel that findings supporting the rezoning as set out in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of April 13,1976 be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council; and that enactment be considered at this time. Councilman Haws asked for staff comment on locating R-3 zoning next to M-2 zoning, and whether the M-2 was now developed. Mr. Saul answered that there was some con- cern in the Commission about the effect of industrial development on the density that eQuId develop under R-3. However, it was felt the PUD process would ensure a maximum degree of compatibility. He said the first property south of that under consideration had an older hous~, and that there was some industrial development at the intersection of 1st and Lawrence. e 5/24/76 - 8 ~~~
