PUBLIC HEARING - PREZONING CASE NO. 70 -38, R -1 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO R -3 MULTIPLE FAMILY DISTRICT - D. BARBER. Upon being assured by Administrator Butch that Public Hearing for Prezoning Case No. 70 -38 had been duly published and property owners notified, Chairman Moss declared the hearing open. Administrator Butch advised that this is the first prezoning case to be heard by this Commission. The property involved is in the County, and immediately east of and adjacent to Tract No. 176, which is within the City. State legislation gives the City the right to prezone properties which are adjacent to the city and subject to annexation. He advised that the petitioner, Don P. Barber, wishes to construct a mobile home park on the property and is requesting R -3 zoning for that purpose. He advised that the area presently is not served by sewers, however, it would be anticipated that sewers would be available when and if the new sewer district trunk lines are constructed. Administrator Butch also advised that the Planning Director had checked with the County Planning Director, Mr. Ned Rogoway, who indicated that the County would accept a rezoning application for an area adjacent to the City, and the staff re- commendations would be based on the Land Use Plan insofar as density is concerned, probably up to and including 7 units per acre. He also indicated that if the City were to deny prezoning, that the County Planning Commission would probably do the same if the petitioner were to refile within the County after denial by the City. Mr. Jerry Mitchell, representing the petitioner, was present and spoke in favor of the prezoning, stating this development would be strictly a double trailer setup, and will allow children. He stated he felt the mobile home park would be an asset rather than trouble for anyone. Mr. Barber was also present and spoke in favor of the prezoning. Mr. Walter Mansell, 112 Rosewood, stated he was opposed to the prezoning. He felt that the best interest of the City and proper land development dictates the continuance of R -1 zoning in this area, and that there is plenty of vacant land within the city limits which probably could be developed as R -3 development. He also stated that there are a great number of children in this area now and that the proposed development would bring in more children and there is no place for them to play except in the streets. Mr. Burdick, 130 Pearwood; Mr. Azevedo, Rt. 1, Box 567; Mr. and Mrs. Ken Gross, 170 Pearwood; Wm. Romero, 182 Pearwood; Ken Barry, 202 Pearwood; and Mrs. Gonzales, 169 Pearwood, stated they were also opposed to the prezoning. No further discussion for or against the proposed prezoning, Chairman Moss declared the hearing closed.
