' . •� 49 Councilman Denny questioned considexation of a zone .that is not now provid- ed in the Zoning Ordinance. He suggested a commercial development is compatible to existing office structures and,would provide convenience of shopping for office workers.. He expressed concern-over strip zoning and stated Mar.ket Street is the longest strip of commercial development in � Northern California. He thought more lateral zoning. should be provided to centralize the commercial development. He said if the Planning Corn- mission and City Council are going to bring the Gene.ral Plan up to date by piece meal rezonings, applicant ;s-h.ould not bear the cost. Coun,cilman Kri,egsman stated in ,1956 the Planning Commission provided Commercial Zone on Pine, East an�i Oregon Streets, most of which have not yet developed; that skipping to Cour.t Street with .Commercial Zone would prolong.deyelo,pment of the.other Streets. He concluded .that no Street had received more consideration thari Court Street in 1g56 and .that the development has proven itself.. , . , . . . . , . . Mr. Hazeltine stated he was granted and paid $15. 00 .fee for the side yard variance; that the Planning Commission voted .to waive the $50. 00 fee for the rezoning application. He said the Planning Commission can initiate rezoning without a request or a fee. . . , City Attorney Murphy advised there are three ways to amend zoning: 1. Petition,of citizen accompanied by a.$50,.:00 fee.. 2. Resolution of Intention of the City Council. 3. Resolution of Intention of the Planning - Commission. He ruled the Planning Commission does not have the power � to waive a fee. He said the p.osition of the Planning Commission should be clarified., ,Is this a matter of public interest and a Resolution of Intention -� or an application of Mx,. , Hazeltine.3 ,He further, stated the .ques.tion of $50. 00 is,moot: as Mr. Hazeltine agrees to pay the fee if necessary. He explained the issue to b.e .decid,ed is whe.ther the property.should. be zoned Commercial Office .or Commercial.
