Vote 5: l. Manager introduced topic. Mr. Bill Sloat, Planner, said that about 11 tax lots (approximately two acres) were involved. The current use is residen- t i al : single-family dwellings, duplexes, and one multi-family complex, the Hillside Apartments. The change in zoning to R-3/SR corresponds to the Whiteaker Refinement Plan, which calls for medium-density in that area. Site revi ew was required because of the area's proximity to Skinner Butte and because of the industrial uses along 1st Avenue. No exparte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by Councilors. Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record. Public hearing was opened. Speaking in against rezoning: James D. Chaudoir, 91 North Lawrence, resident of a block adjacent to the area in question, opposed the change to R-3. He said he would prefer the lower density R-2 designation because the area is already overpopulated and has problems with too much traffic. Joseph Brown, 90 North Lawrence, said that he has lived in the area for four-and- one-half years. Over that time, traffic problems have increased dramatically. He would prefer R-2 designation. e 12/10/79--7 b53
