Commissioner Gribou moved to recommend approval of a rezoning request for approximately 72.4 acres in
the Pebble Creek Subdivision including the elementary school site and future phases of the subdivision from
R-3 Townhomes, R-4 Medium. Density Apartments, A-P Administrative Professional and A-O Agricultural
Open to R-1 and R-1A Single Family Residential. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion which passed

AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Public hearing to consider a rewning request for a proposed parking lot at 315
Church Street from R-2 Duplexes m Gi General Commercial. (94-114)
City Planner Kee presented the .staff report and recommended .approval due to the fact that the subject lot is
the last R-2 zoned lot in the entire block of C-1 zoned property.. The subject .lots and the lots in the
Northgate area were originally .subdivided for residential .use. At the time that most of the area was rezoned
for commercial use, the lots should have been resubdivided to provide adequate utility and street systems to
accommodate more intense uses. The. conversion of this .area, however, occurred at a time when it was not
standard practice to require such a redevelopment. .The fact that most of this block is already zoned C-1
presents the opportunity for consolidation of lots to lessen the potentially negative impact of small commercial
lots. The applicant intends to consolidate this lot with the. lot to the south for development as a pay-for-
parking lot. Twelve surrounding property owners were notified with two inquiries.
