I CB 2183--Authorizing rezoning from RA Suburban Residential District to R-2/SR Limited Multiple-Family Residential District with Site e Review procedures for property located on the west side of Mistletoe Street north of Mist Court. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that findings supporting the rezoning as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of July 1, 1980, be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council; and that enactment be considered at this time. .

Mr. Obie noted that the council could approve this with access only for emergency vehicles on Mistletoe. Ms. Schue stated concern about the traffic and asked if there is access to Mistletoe from the apartments to the north. ~. Jacobson responded that there is a 12-foot-wide emergency vehicle access. Ms. Schue then asked where the traffic is coming from that causes the confusion. ~. Jacobson responded that Mistletoe is unimproved and used by the surrounding area for access onto 18th. Ms. Miller noted that it is appropriate that a street . 8/11/80--4
