PUBLIC HEARING - re Mobilehomes on Individual Lots The hour of 8:00 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Moty opened the public hearing re amendments to the City Code pertaining to mobilehomes on individual lots. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk; Affidavit of publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated 11/ 1/68 ,It� . The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests had been �p� received. Planning Director Harris reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Commission regarding amendments to the City Code pertaining to mobilehomes on individual lots. Mr. Harris em- phasized that the amendments proposed only provide the "tool" to allow this type of use. The application of the "ST" District will, like any other zoning district, require public hearings • before the Planning Commission and City Council. A.s proposed, the "ST" District could not be used in areas of less than five acres , which will prevent applications being submitted on a lot- by-lot basis . The amendments also include minimum square footage requirements for the mobilehomes , thus preventing the use of smaller travel trailers , etc, as permanent dwelling units. Mrs. Helen Faye Generes appeared before Council in opposition to the five acre requirement for "ST" Districts . Mayor Moty asked if this was considered by the Planning Commission. Mr . Harris said this was discussed and the Commission generally concurred, basically to prevent spot development of trailers in a residential area. The advantages and disadvantages of the five acre requirement were discussed. Councilman Denny supports the requirement on the basis that it will not leave the matter to the. judgment of the Planning Corr�nission. He stated that undoubtedly it will work hardships on occasion but feels a still greater hardship can come about with inconsistent judgment of the Planning Commission. Councilman Chatfield believes there should be some latitude. He is concerned with the workability of the ordinance. City Attorney Murphy suggested that Council take action on the ordinance in its present form and if it is found that it causes undo hardship, it can be amended. Associate Planner Nebon briefed Council on the concept of the proposed amendments and said that if individuals desire a "ST" District they can request the Planning Commission to initiate the rezoning. He feels that by so doing, the five acre requirement will not cause a hardship. Councilman Doherty said he feels the acreage requirement should be fixed and then be amended if need be. ; } 265 MOTION: Made by Councilman Doherty, seconded by Councilman Denny that the public hearing be closed.
