Public hearing was closed. Mr. Lieuallen arrived at the meeting. e Mr. Saul said the Planning Department and Planning Commission feel that the existing RG zoning retained there permits medium to high density and there is no further need for rezoning. The property that extended up to Cheshire was included in the historic area designation. He added that this is, at the present time, the only R-2/20A zoning in the city. However, there are situations where there is R-2 zoning with a ten unit/acre limit. The matter was not submitted to the Historic Review Board because there was no particular correlation. The Historic Review Board has reviewed the area at length and sub- mitted recommendations. The Council has also accepted the Board's recommendations. Staff is simply implementing what the Board earlier recommended. Mr. Saul said the Council is aware that the Planning Commission, when it submitted its original recommendations to the Council, felt this area was appropriate for high density as opposed to medium density. On the issue involving the two tax lots, it was the intent to retain that area as medium-high. He would note that the owners of those two lots have not been formally notified that consider- ation was given to rezoning them, and so it would not be possible for Council to include those at this time. In answer to Mr. Obie, Mr. Saul said R-2/20A provides the maximum allowable density under the Refinement Plan. Mr. Lieuallen wondered about earlier discussion excluding Tax Lots 900 and 1000. Mr. Saul said that when the Planning Commission reviewed the Historic Review - Board's recommendations, there was discussion of that question. He noted those two tax lots are part of the overall Poticha development. Ms. Schue wondered if the adopted Historic District intended to exclude those two lots, and Mr. Saul responded that that is a matter of judgment and interpretation. Mr. Saul verified to Ms. Miller that the historic review process supersedes the earlier provisions of the Whiteaker Refinement Plan. The Whiteaker Refinement Plan of May 8, 1978, states that the area would be zoned for residential medium density, with up to 20 units per acre for the entire area. The Historic Review Board recommended a portion as medium-high and a portion medium on April 11, 1979. CB 2007--Authorizing rezoning from R-2 Limited Multiple-Family Residen- . tial District and RG Garden Apartment District to R-2/20A Limited Multiple-Family Residential District with a maximum density of 20 units per acre for property located in the East Butte District of the Whiteaker Neighborhood between Skinner Butte Park and High Street, south of the vacated east-west alley south of Cheshire Street and north of the east-west alley north of 4th Avenue was read by number and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in full. e 10/8/79--6 55/
