Applicant: Media Craft A~saciates, Jesse Nazarath Background Information In October 1990, the Planning and Development Department received a letter from Jim Saul, representing Media Craft Associates, requesting an amendment to the Bethel -Danebo Refinement Plan . The Planning Division referred .the request to the chair of the Active Bethel Citizens neighborhood organization. The neighborhood group did not respond to this initial referral. On November 13, 1990, the request was reviewed by the Planning Commission to determine whether the request should be classified as a major or minor amend- ment. It was the determination of the Planning Commission that the request should be considered a minor amendment. The question was raised in commis- sion discussion whether creation of a mixed use designation and zoning dis- trict was the best approach as opposed to dividing the property into two zoning districts. This issue is discussed in the applicant's statement on page 2.
