Appeal of zone change request denied by the Planning Commission for <br /> property located west of Coburg Road and north of Willakenzie Road <br /> from RA Suburban Residential District to C-2 Community Commercial <br /> District, including a Sign District boundary change from Residential <br /> District to Outlying Commercial District (Olson/Brazier/Knutson}(Z 79-12) <br /> Manager introduced topic. Mr. Saul said the property involved is <br /> 2.56 acres. It is presently designed RA, but had been given first <br /> reading for RP designation in 1969. However, the final reading of the <br /> ordinance never occurred. The requested change would allow for more <br /> intensive development of the property. It was denied by the Planning <br /> Commission. The principal area of discussion involved public need. <br /> No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by <br /> Councilors. <br /> e Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record. <br /> Public hearing was opened. <br /> Testifying for the zone change: <br /> Mr. James Giustina) 888 West Park) representing the petitioners <br /> Olson/Brazier/Knutson, noted that the staff notes recommend approval <br /> of the request. Those opposing felt there was insufficient buffer <br /> for the residential properties and insufficient public need. With <br /> respect to the latter) there is, at present, no available C-2 space in <br /> Sheldon Plaza (at the hearing the petitioners stated that there was). <br /> The petitioners have had numerous unsolicited requests for spaces. <br /> There is adequate public need. The proposal would not mean the <br /> extending of a linear development, but the infilling of a commercial <br /> node already established. If there is concern about compatibility of <br /> the development) the staff has recommended criteria for a site review <br /> to harmonize the development with the surrounding area. <br /> There being no further testimony) the public hearing was closed. <br /> e <br /> 9/10/79--7 <br /> i97 <br />
