. other city costs that would be involved in such an annexation. Mr. Croteau said that the annexation had been referred to various agencies, and city services were available and could be extended to service this particular piece of property. He noted there were always general improvements when any area was annexed by the City. No dollar figures for a cost breakdown were available by staff. Mr. Bradley then expressed a concern regarding the access to the property and how the property was going to be developed. Mr. Croteau noted the development would be a standard subdivision with access from the south off of Best Lane. The overall street layout was being worked out for future property development in the area. Mr. Bradley then urged the Council to vote against this annexation for the reasons stated above, including the LCDC question of agri- cultural land within the urban service boundary, no available cost estimate, limited access to the property, and lack of controls over the annexation policies by the City. He felt there were enough problems in filling within the corporate area of the city limits. e Mr. Hamel said if Mr. Bradley were concerned over the annexation policies, then perhaps he should initiate a process for reviewing the annexation policy, but he felt this was the wrong time to take a position against it. Mr. Delay agreed with Mr. Bradley, noting a concern over energy consumption and increased transportation to the annexed area, and he felt continued development should be occurring within the city limits. Vote was taken on the motion which passed, with Hamel, Williams, Obie, Smith, and Lieuallen voting yes; and Bradley and Delay voting no. [-B-2 F. Zone Change Denials by Planning Commission--Appeals 1. Located south of West 11th Avenue between City View Street and Arthur Street (Nickels (Z 77-4) Denial at March 1, 1977 Planning Commission meetingwManager noted this request had been for a zone change from RP Residential Professional District with Site Review to C-2 Community Commercial District. The request was denied by the Commission March 1, 1977 and an appeal had subsequently been made to Council. Gary Chenkin reviewed the background for previous rezoning requests for this property. He noted in July 1976, a request for a zone change had resulted in the Planning Commission extending the C-2 zone change for an additional 150 feet into the property. He said that meant that the first 350 feet of Tax Lot 1900, south of 11th Avenue, was zoned C-2, the remainder was zoned RP. At that time, the Planning Commission noted if a specific use were found for Tax Lot 1900, the owner could file a request for a zone change in less than a normal one-year time period. He said this request for a zone change had been filed because a specific development for Tax Lot 1900 had been proposed. This recent request for a zone change had been denied by the Planning Commission because of its compatibility for use with the adjoining property in the area. e 4/25/77--9 3~~
