Councilman Pugh abstained from discussion and voting on this item
The hour of 7: 30 P.M. having: arrived, Mayor Demsher opened
the Public Hearing on Rezoning Application RZ-7-79 .
The following documents are on file in the office of the
City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing /qy
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission Recommendation dated August 30 , 1979
The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests have
been received.
Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed
his memo to Council dated August 30, 1979. Mr. Harris said
that George Serna has requested rezoning of his property
located at the southeast corner of El Reno Lane and Cedars
Road from "R-1" single family residential district to "R-2"
duplex district.. The location of the property was depicted
on the Vu Graph.
Mr.. Harris advised that ata public hearing conducted by
the Planning Commission on August 14, 1979, the Commission
unanimously recommended that the rezoning be denied.
Mr. Harris said that the Commission concurred with the
254
r
residents in the area and felt the change in zoning
would be an unwarranted intrusion into the single family
area. He noted that the surrounding property consists
of single family homes to the north, east and south. A
nonconforming wrecking yard is located directly across
the street, which is a pre-existing lawful use. A
petition, opposing the rezoning request, was submitted
to the Commission by several residents in the area.
Councilman Fulton noted that duplexes have intruded
R-1 areas in other portions of the City.
Councilwoman Gard said that was a problem faced in
considering the General Plan for the Magnolia area.
She noted that the densities were lessened in this
neighborhood in order to save it from this type of
intrusion.
Don Kennedy, Attorney, representing the applicant, said
that it is essential that the property be observed prior
to making a determination on its use. He said that the
trend around the Harrison Tract appears to be toward
multiple or commercial usage and that R-1 has been
confined to the tract. He pointed out that the highest
and best use adjacent to El Reno Lane has changed
considerably over the years. Mr. Kennedy said that
single-family usage is unrealistic on this parcel and
feels the single-family peak has been reached in the
area.
Mr. Kennedy questioned how R-2 density would interfere
with the area pointing out that the Cascade General
Plan specifies six-units per acre. He noted that the
Planning Department recommendation to the Planning Com-
mission was for approval of the request for R-2 zoning
on this parcel.
} Mr. Harris responded that the Planning Department had
recommended approval of the request for R-2 zoning but
} that the rezoning application was denied by the Planning
Commission.
The following persons responded to this issue:
Bud Skaggs, 4549 Cedar Road
Mr. Skaggs felt the concern expressed in the petition
(containing 57 signatures) opposing this use should
stand in support of how the neighborhood feels. He
admitted that the wrecking yard detracts from the
neighborhood, but did not see that construction of
apartment houses would better the neighborhood in any
way.
Bud Spangler, 2180 El Reno
Mr. Spangler said he has resided in the Redding area
since 1939 and at his present address since 1944 and
has observed the drastic change and additional traffic
in the last few years. He objected to any use that
would bring more traffic into the area. He pointed out
that there are handicapped persons who ride on three-
wheelers , and also, thereare many children in the area.
John Benkosky, 1740 Brenda Lane, Anderson, developer of
this parcel, said he feels the neighborhood will be
255
pleased with the duplex plans they have chosen and that
they plan to rent to a good class of people.
Councilman Fulton questioned how many units he proposes .
Mr. Benkosky said that presently they are planning for
two single-family dwellings and if the rezoning is approved,
they will construct two duplexes (4 units) .
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote :
Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining
City Attorney Murphy advised Council that they can legally
decide this issue by retaining the R-1 zoning or sustaining
the appeal and changing it to R-2 without fear of being
overturned by the courts.
Councilwoman Gard said that R-1 zoning is one that everyone
understands and feels protects them. She said that if a
family purchases a home in an area zoned R-1, it is assumed
they will be free from this type of intrusion. She
encouraged preservation of this R-1 area in the City.
Mayor Demsher said that a majority of the neighborhood
