C.B. 1543--Rezoning properties located between 7th and 13th Avenues, extending from Washington Street to Lincoln Street from C-2 e and R-3 to MU Mixed Use was read by council bill number only, there being no Council member present requesting it be read in full. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to amend the motion to remove from consideration of zone change the property occupied by the Lawrence Street Market and Wyatt's Tire Company on the north side of West 11th at Lawrence Street. Mayor Keller wondered if it were appropriate to accept such an amendment. City Attorney replied that if the amendment were to pass, it would result in referral back to the Planning Commission as the action would be contrary to that recommended by the Planning Commission. Mr. Obie felt there had not been enough consideration given to these two pieces of property by the Planning Commission. He felt the use on the property was appropriate for the area and a zone change would divest the individuals of their rights to use the property as others in the area are able to do. Ms. Smith asked Jim Bernhard, President of the Planning Commission, to comment. City Attorney replied that Council would have to reopen the hearing to take specific testimony and would have to give other . persons the same opportunity to testify.
