The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of 1Vlailing -•. Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing � �� Planning Commission Recommendation dated 8/16/73 Planning Director Harr:is illustrated on the Vu Graph the area under consideration for rezoning, which is located along Lake Boulevard in the vicinit,y of Quartz Hill Road. The rezoning pertains to an increase in the "ST" zoning (which permits mobilehomes on individ,aal lots) within the area. The Commission initiated the zoning acti��n, although several interested parties had indicated a desire f�r such rezoning in the area. Mr. Harris reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Commission as con- tained in a memo to Council dated A.ugust 16, 1973, which memo is made a part of these minutes by reference. The Map Exhibits attached to said memo illustrate the areas proposed for 'ST" zoning. The City Clerk advised Council that a letter had been received from Mr, and Mrs. Robert K. Blagg, 3145 Quartz Hill Road, in opposition to the rezc>ning. The letter was read to Council. The following persons .appeared b-efore Council in oppo.sition to the rezoning as it is believed that: (1) mobilehomes are not compatible with conventional dwellings; (2) tend to depreciate the value of permanent homes; (3) are taxed in such a manner as to °..have a�detr.imentalceffer.t on;sc:hools;�(4) would create traffic and dust problems in the area because of inadequate access streets. W._Vardanega:, 1640` .L-ake�Boul.evard '... -. : B. Haskins , 3404 Snavely Drive Mrs. Robinson, on behalf of Clarence Roe ,.: • J. Snavely, 1884 Snavely Drive Mrs. McFarland, 2062 Lake Boulevard B. Haggard, 3162 Quartz Hill Road Eugene and Jane Irwin, Summit City, Evelyn and Gilbert Parker, Red Bluff, and Wayne Owen, Happy Valley, who own property in the area proposed for� rezoning, favor such rezoning, noting that several conventional ho�nes have been built in the area although mobilehomes were in close proximity prior to construction. "They believe the two are compatible and discount the theory that mobile- homes depreciate the value of conventional homes . Luke Mutchie, 500 La.ke Boulevard, who said he was neither for or against the rezoning, raised the question re method of taxation of conventional homes vs. mobilehomes, and was advised that mobilehomes are taxed on an 18-year depreciation scale by the State Motor Vehicle Department. n 136 MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman A.nderson that the :Public Hearing be closed . The Vote: Unanimous A.yes A. discussion ensued regarding the mobilehomes on Quartz Hill Road whic�h are lawful non-conforming uses. Mr. Harris advised that th�ese rnobilehomes were there prior to annexation. The irregular `oundaries propo.sed for "ST" zoning in the area were also mentioned, and Councilman A.nderson indicated that he would favor considering the four areas individually rather than as; a composite as this would enable Council to_better evaluate any objectionslby property owners . There was also a discussion regarding the possibility of amending the present Code to allow replacement of a mobilehome in .a non-conforming use. The issue of real property tax on conventional homes vs. the Motor Vehicle tax on mobilehomes was discussed by Planni.ng Director Harris, who reported that there has been c.onsiderable debate in the legislature regarding this matter and several bills have been introduced, ..but he _does not believe that any survived committee hearings due to the strong mobilehome lobby. � MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Council- man Fulton that Rezoning A.pp.lication R.Z-8-73 be referr.ed back to th,e Planning Com��ti.ssion for restudy, further research, and consideration of "ST" zoning requirements. � + . - Voting was as follows: A.yes: Councilmen - Chatfield, Denny, Fulton,. and.
