Councilman Haws said it was his understanding that because the lot was an interior lot, a suplex could not be constructed. He wondered how that could -- be changed. Mr. Saul answered that a duplex on the interior lot was pro- hibited at this time because of the RA zoning. If the.zone was changed to R-2, then the duplex would be allowed. But that would also raise the question of how many other interior lots there were in the city on which similar rezon- ing could be requested. Rollcall vote was taken on the motion to deny the R-2 rezoning. Motion carried - Council members Haws, Williams, Murray, Hamel, and Shirey voting aye; Councilwoman Beal abstaining. 2. Bet\\Cen Delta Highway and Wi 11 agillespie Road, north of Delta Interchange - From City and County RA to C-2 (Wildish)(Z 75-5) Manager explained that the applicant had requested postponement of this item to a future Council meeting.

Also, the purpose was to schedule discussion first on the procedures used in making the allocations. Mr. Murray corrmented that, though changes have been made from time to time in the way the allocations are handled, the situation has never seemed to get any better. He feels it is unfortunate that hassles are aired in public, noting the fact that so many times decisions of the room tax corrmittee are reversed by the Council. He suggested either a council subcomrnattee to review requests, or placing a Council member on the room tax committee. Mr. Haws commented that he would like to see all the IlK:)ney placed in the general fund and allocated toward a major program - parks acquisition, for instance. Mr. Hamel suggested earmarking all room tax IlK:)ney for an auditorium - clearly cultural in nature. Mr. Murray would not be opposed to a bold change at this point except that he does not favor earmarking all funds for the auditorium since it has been so resoundly defeated at the polls. He feels parks acquisition would be a good investment, however. it 'Manager would be concerned with drastic changes too soon. Withdrawing 'support of previously funded organizations at this point might have serious repercussions. Mr. Keller wondered whether money would actually be absorbed into the general fund as such.
