. - Mr. Gleason introduced Tom Hayes, Planning Department staff. Mr. Hayes said that the rezoning request involved three tax lots located west of Portland Street and south of West 29th Place. The requested R-2 zoning would permit a total of 10 dwelling units. Surrounding lots are zoned RA, R-1, and RG (Cascade Manor). Mr. Hayes said that the Planning Commission had recommended approval with addition of the site review suffix, to require review of potential develop- ment for compatibility with surrounding residential properties; a workable, livable site design; and adequate ingress, egress, and on-site automobile circulation. It was recognized that special attention would need to be paid to the effect of development on the intersections at 29th and Portland and at 30th and Willamette. Ms. Wooten noted that in the minutes of the Planning Commission's deliberation on this request, Mr. Pearson was quoted as suggesting a traffic engineering study of 29th Place. She asked if this had been done. Don Allen, Department of Public Works, said that this would be done as a part of the site review process. Mayor Keller called for declaration of ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest. Mr. Obie said that he had been in the audience during the Planning Commission's deliberation on this request, but he did not feel that he had acquired any knowledge that was not available to all councilors in the minutes of that meeting. No other contacts or conflicts were declared. The staff notes and minutes were made a part of the record. Mayor Keller opened the public hearing. There being no members of the public who wished to speak, Mayor Keller closed the public hearing. e Ms. Schue said that since the site of this request was within her ward, she had examined the site. She felt that the rezoning was appropriate and said she would vote for it, but she stressed that the traffic problem in the area is very real and must be dealt with under the site review process. CB 2389--An ordinance authorizing rezoning from RA Suburban Residential District to R-2/SR Limited Multiple-Family Residential District with Site Review procedures for property located west of Portland Street, south of West 29th Place.
