<br /> Ms. Miller felt that the change of designation was worth considering for several <br /> e reasons. Other parts of town are zoned RA with apparently few problems. The <br /> area is close to the River Road area where the RA uses are permitted. Finally, <br /> the residents favor RA. <br /> Vote on the amendment was taken; motion passed <br /> unanimously. <br /> Therefore, the item will be referred back to a joint Planning Commission/City <br /> Council meeting. <br /> 2. Property located between Van Buren and Monroe streets <br /> south of 2nd Avenue and north of 4th Avenue from M-2 <br /> Light Industrial District to R-2/SR Limited Multiple- <br /> Family Residential District With Site Review Procedures <br /> and a change of sign district from Highway-Oriented and <br /> Industrial Districts to Residential District and for <br /> property located between Van Buren and Monroe streets, <br /> south of 2nd Avenue and north of 4th Avenue, a change <br /> of sign district from Highway-Oriented District and <br /> Industrial District to Residential District (City of <br /> Eugene: 3rd Avenue) (Z 79-28) Recommended approval by <br /> Planning Commission November 6, 1979. Vote 5:0. <br /> Manager introduced topic. <br /> e Ms. Smernoff referred Council members to the second map attached to the agenda. <br /> The shaded area is presently zoned M-2. The staff had recommended that the west <br /> side of the street be zoned R-3/SR and the south side R-3. The Planning Commis- <br /> sion decided to rezone only those lots on which there was existing residential <br /> use. An R-2/SR designation was recommended for property on both the north and <br /> south sides of 3rd Avenue. Two lots were excluded that are currently zoned R-2. <br /> Mr. Lieuallen asked about a problem that had come to his attention concerning <br /> Westside Foreign Auto. He asked staff what they knew about this. Ms. Smernoff <br /> replied that Mr. Cecil Strange owns Tax Lot 1000. On it, he has a residence and <br /> his business. He is presently using an undeveloped portion of Tax Lot 1100 as a <br /> parking lot for his customers. <br /> No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared. Staff notes and <br /> minutes were entered into the record. Public hearing was opened. <br /> Speaking in favor of rezoning: <br /> Brian Bauske, 327 Adams (Tax ~qt 13700 to be rezoned), said he thought rezoning <br /> to R-2 was appropriate for two'reasons: 1) It is entirely consistent with the <br /> Whiteaker Refinement Plan; and 2) It wfll encourage preservation of the housing <br /> stock in the East Blair area. <br /> e <br /> 12/10/79--5 <br /> ~51 <br />
