The Vote� Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEA.RING - Rezoning Application RZ-6-69 The hour of 8:00 P.M. having arrived, Vice Mayor Chatfield opened the Public Hearing on Rezoning A.pplication RZ-6-69 The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: //L� A.ffidavit of mailing - Notice of Public Hearing % Affidavit of publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated 8/28/69 The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests had been received. Planning Director Harris reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Commission which proposes that zoning in the area be changed from "U" Unclassified to C-1-F, R-3, R-3-15 , and R-1 as depicted on E�ibit B Dated July 22, 1969. Ivlrs. Grandle Wright, 4480 Clay Street, objected to the R-1 zoning on their property and requested that it be changed to C-3. Mrs . Wright said that the property was purchased several years ago in order that she and her husband could construct a home on it, as well as a repair shop for refrigera- tion equipment, and that over a period of years they have spent approximately $10, 000 in improving the property for this purpose. Mrs. Wright was advised that if the property were zoned commer- cial, their home would have to be constructed to meetflie Fire � Zone 1 rating which would increase the cost of construction sub- stantially. In discussing this matter it was felt that comxnercial i ; 155 zoning on the Wright's property was not appropriate, and the only reasonable solution would be for the Wrights to request a variance after the zoning was approved or apply for a use permit prior to the zoning being adopted. Luke Mutchie inquired about the C-1-F zoning and was advised that this permits light commercial operations and professional offices. Gus Robrecht said that he owns property to the north of the Wrights and that he plans to develop this property as single family residential. Vice Mayor Chatfield suggested that perhaps the public hearing , could be continued to allow the Planning Director time to work out something for the Wrights. A.ttorney Gary Borchard said ' that he represents five property owners in the proposed C-1-F ' zoning and he opposed any further delay. Mr. Borchard suggested that Council approve the zoning which has not been objected to rather than delay the entire proceedings.
