3. The City Planner, Dick Bolen, presented a resolution fr:om the City �I
Council sending the N. P. 0. #1 Plan, as- adopted i�n May o� 1974,
back to the Planning Commission and N. P. 0. for revision. The
resolution included specific considerations regarding the Downtown
and Paci�ic Highway commercial areas. Bo�en then presented a map
showing where zone changes were proposed, based on the Plan as
� adopted, and pointed out changes which should be consic�ered accord-
_ ing to the direction provided by the City Council resolution.
4. Discussion began concerning the proposed rezoning of some M-3 and
M-4 zoned areas in the Downtown to C-3. Referring to a list of
the in.tended objectives for powntown developmen.t included in the
NPO #1 Plan, Porter made the following comment: "The Downtown
objective #1 which states that 'the viability of Downtown as a re-
tail commercial, governmental and communi-L-y center should be
sou�ht' is actually pretty vague and this objective could be
accomplished by doing as 1.ittle rezoning as possible. "
5. Ball responded to Porter's comment by saying that he felt the first
P1an objective for the Downtown was being misinterpreted and that
its implications do go farther than mere superficial plai�ning treat-
ment, to include rezoning, etc.
6. Following these opening comments there was considerable discussion
which also included' the audience and property owners on Burnham
and Commercial �treets to include: Joan Corliss, Mr. Davis, Craig
Eagleson and some other persons repre�enting these property in-
terests. The concensus which developed out of this discussion was
�i;hat the vacant parcels south of Main St. on Burnham do present
potential commercial property and should be rezoned from indust-
rial to commercial use, but that the additional land to the south
on Burnham is developed primarily into industrial uses and should
� remain so zoned, in this case M-•4, with the Air King Co. to be
1.eft in M-3 zoning. In addition, the property now zoned M--3 on
_ �
�.. �5
� ,
Commercial St. was chosen to be rezoned C-3, general commer�cial. ;
�fr '�. The next item discussed was the Buccholz property and the con-
. census of the group was that their entire property (the area now
all zoned C-3) should remain C-3 rather than rezoni,ng the rear
portion A-2. An additional commp:nt was that provision should be
made for screening of th� rear portion of their property from the
resie�:ential area when commercial development �takes place.
8. The remainder z�f the m�eting was spent in discussing the frontage
road portion of the Plan on Pacific Highway. Porter suggested
�hat the zonin.g remain C-3 in this area until the Planning Com- '
mission has conc�.uded their study of the entire Pacific High.way
cotnmercial strip. Following a discussion which in.cluded comments
from the audience (property owners Fred O1son, Chuck Sterns and
John Setniker) , the joint commit-tee chose to eliminate :the pro-
posed recessed frontage r�oad and to utilize the existing froxatage
road closing it at the southern end and extendin� it to Garrett
St, on the north: In addition, they agreed to retain the pro-
posed commercial-pro�essional use of •the highway.
9. Chairman Whittaker directe.d staff to prepare a r�v�.sion o� the
Plan as well as a revi�ed rezoning proposal for. cons�.deration
by the Planning Commission at th.eir February 18, 1975, public
hearing.
10. The meeting was adjourned at 12:35 a.m.
