.. Mr. Lieuallen asked what site review procedures are being considered. Mr. . Jacobson responded that all applicable site review procedures are beino con- sidered and there is a slough northeast of the property line that will try to be preserved. The question of access will also be addressed. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared. Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record. Public hearinq was opened. Malcolm Scott, 101 East Broadway, stated that he is the attorney representing the applicant. The filed statement establishes the need in accordance with the General Plan, and the manner in which the public would be best served. The Planning Commission findings agree. They have previously presented written testimony to show compliance with all LCDC goals. This was approved by the Cal Young Neighborhood Association. This development was conceived prior to annexa- tion and zoning in 1979. To the south of the prooerty, there are professional offices and the zone boundary cuts across Krumdieck's parkin~ lot which was there first. This would be a simple and loqical approval. The SR suffix gives protection and control for concerns. An example of RP zoninq where offices were not built is Krumdieck's apartments near this site. There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. CB 2204--Authorizing rezoning from RG/SR Garden Apartment Residential District with Site Review procedures to RP/SR Residential Profes- tit sional District with Site Review procedures for property located at the southeast corner of Country Club Road and Sand Avenue. Mr. Lieuallen stated that generally RP zonino means office development but it is was meant to provide a mix of land use. He asked if Planning staff and the Planninq Commission view this in the same way or if they see it as an office zone. Jim Croteau, Planning, stated that in the past Planning Comission discus- sions they expressed their frustration in regard to RP zoning. The intent of the zone has not happened. This may be due to the price of the land since RP is usually less expensive office space. RP has become pretty much a commercial zone. This will be reviewed in the zoning ordinance update. Mr. Lieuallen asked with the amount of RP zoninq in the area if there are vacant areas along Country Club Road. Mr. Croteau stated that there is a ~ood portion of land which is vacant. On Country Club Road, there is a large tract of RP zonin~ and discussion was held as to whether RP or RG would be more appropriate. The Planning Commission recommends RP and Commissioner Rob Barkman could explain the reasoninq this land had been earmarked for office development. Mr. Lieuallen asked when the commission considered this re~uest if they were thinking of office or residential development., Mr. Barkman stated that the commission views RP as commercial zoning expecting development with offices compatible with the surrounding residential area. Mr. Lieuallen noted that he would like to see the commission justify this request differently although this may be the best use of this land. Ms. Smith noted that the RP land is undevel- oped in t~is area. She thinks there would be a need. e MINUTES--Euqene City Council October 13, 1980 Page 5
