Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Murray to deny the appeal and adopt by reference thereto findings supporting denial of rezoning the southwest corner of 19th and Jefferson to C-l Councilman Keller asked for clarification of procedure, noting that the ordinance _- which would have rezoned the property had been held on second reading. Mr. Long explaineq that the Council had the obligation to dispose of the issue in one way or another. The motion to rezone failed, which does not mean the opposite result follows. The next motion to deny the rezoning carried as did the mo,tion to pre- pare negative findings. If the motion now before the Council fails, he said, then another motion would be needed. Councilman Williams declared his intent to abstain because he had not been present at all of the meetings at which this issue was discussed, nor had he reviewed the minutes and testimony presented. Councilman Bradley asked whether the current motion was appropriate in view of the previous motion to "approve denial." He wondered whether the motion should be only to support the denial by adopting findings. Mr. Long said it had been pointed out to the Council that a motion approving or denying rezoning unaccompanied by findings is, in effect, no motion at all. At that time, staff was directed to prepare nega- tive findings for consideration by the Council, and it is now incumbent upon the Council to dispose of the matter either on those findings or by requesting prepara- tion of Others. Further discussion took place between Councilman Bradley and Mr. Long with regard to legal procedure in disposing of the rezoning request, whether the findings pre- sented could be adopted, or whether a motion was necessary to reconsider previous action. No further or substitute motion was offered. Vote was taken on the motion to deny the appeal and adopt findings _-- supporting the denial of rezoning.
