PUBLIC HEARING ITEM: A PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE LAND USE PATTERN specified
in said Comprehensive Plan to provide for multiple household dwellings east
of Hiline Road and south of Chububck Road. This change would allow the
city to zone the area in such a manner that multiple household dwellings
would be permitted without limitation upon density, subject to lot size
and area requirements provided by ordinance.
Del Bunce, 834 Mark, asked to have area defined and what would be allowed
in R-2 zone.
Barbara Robinson, 724 Norcrest, said she would object to high rise apartments
and wanted to know what controls would be in effect.
The people in the audience were told this piece of property would have to
be subdivided and platted, no one would be able to just start building
on it without plans presented to the city. It would have to be rezoned
before it could be used.
Ron Thompson, 703 Bedford, asked if development would go to the end of
Bedford.
Vickie Nielson, 4732 Mount Lake Drive, stated objection to apartments being
built, said she would like to see area zoned R-1.
Joan Padrnos, 742 Bedford, asked about road being extended to Bedford and
their area being opened up for additional traffic. She said they would
like to see the area zoned R-1.
Michael Johnson, 723 Bedford, said he opposed zoning change, and that he
also opposed multiple dwellings in the area.
Acting Chairman Kinghorn told these people the area is shown as Agricultural
Transitional (A-T) on the present Comprehensive Plan, that it was the feeling
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
of the commission area was meant to be shown as R-2; to show this property
as R-2 in the Comprehensive Plan does not effect a zoning change.
Max Parrish said in the Comprehensive PLan, as far as they knew, throughout
the hearings, this property had always been designated R-2; part of it is
already R-2, only when some one noticed the line jogged, it became apparent
it was not R-2 in the Comprehensive Plan.
A lengthy 'discussion followed with the audience and the commission members.
It was the consensus of the people they would like to see this area
zoned R-1.
Boyd Neider stated the commission should respect the ideas of the people
when they come and express themselves, even if the things they ask for are
not right, it should be respected.
Many of the people voiced the opinion, their area is new in the city and
many of their homes have been built since the city has had the public
hearings on the comprehensive plan and they felt their view. should be
heard.
Dell Peters and Janet Williams said the R-2 zone would act as a buffer
between the CHatterton Subdivision and Hiline Road. Dean Wood reminded
the people Hiline Road would probably be a four lane road in the future.
Acting Chairman Kinghorn explained to the people what was allowed in the
R-1 and R-2 zone. Dell Peters said area requirements address themselves
to multiple family units ~and still has same effect as single household
dwelling, when you put in multiple family units, additional space has to
be included.
Dell Peters made motion to recommend to the City Council, the proposed
change in the Comprehensive Plan, for property located east of Hiline
Road and south of Chubbuck Road, to provide for multiple household
dwellings in a General Residential (R-2) zone; and for the adoption of
the Comprehensive Plan with that change. Janet Williams seconded the
