Mr. Lieua11en said he would support the motion. The applicant's forecast of the likelihood of the building being razed under the current zoning persuaded him. .. The City is committed to uses of that kind in that area. The City is working with the neighborhood and it is hoped the City can help with traffic and pollu- tion problems. Mr. Delay thought they had come a long way in the relationship between the developer, the City, and the neighborhood group. He recollected a conflict between a developer and a neighborhood group that resulted in the deannexation of an area. The conflict between the two policies is something the council and the Planning Commission have to deal with. It is nice to know,he said, that there are people in the neighborhood willing to participate and deal with these conflicting goals. He hoped the WNQP pursues annexation. It was through their efforts that mixed-use zoning was put in place. He agreed with Mr. Lieua11en and would support the motion. Ms. Miller observed that the church would be a difficult building to adapt for residential uses. This is an effort to reconcile a difficult situation to save the building. Without contract zoning, the council will have to hope that is what will happen. She wanted to note that the highest zoning potentially under MU is R-4. As a council, they might want to consider whether R-3 might be more appropriate under MU. It is an ordinance amendment that they should keep in mind. Roll call vote. The motion carried unanimously. Council Bill 2229 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieua11en, that the bill be . approved and given final passage. Roll call vote. All coun- cilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18737. 4. Property located south of West 11th Avenue on the west side of Oak Patch Road from M-2 Light Industrial District to C-1/SR Neighborhood Commercial District with Site Review procedures, including a sign district boundary change from Industrial District to Outlying Commercial District (Gary Hughes) (Z 80-28) (map distributed) Mr. Henry noted the application was approved by a unanimous vote of the Planning Commission. He introduced Jim Croteau. Mr. Croteau stated that the property was located on Oak Patch Road south of West 11th on the north of the Amazon Channel. All the property north is zoned M-2 except the property directly to the north. Land to the south is R-2/PD and is in multiple-family apartments. The Planning Commission noted that it was a good location for a neighborhood commercial facility to serve the expanding popula- tion in this general vicinity. They were concerned about the configuration of the parcel (116 feet in depth) and asked for site review procedures to review the proposed development of the property. .
