. Minutes of the Regular Planning Commission Meeting, August 5, 1987 Page 5 . CASE #87-23 (Cont'd) Member Thorn stated that all options should be explored under the R-3 zoning. He further commented that he understood the concern of the residents in the area relative to the Snelling Avenue access increasing traffict however, it was his opinion that most of the traffic exiting onto Snelling would proceed to Highway 96. Thorn also preferred the underground parking associated with an apartment development versus the parking associated with a townhouse developmen~. The Planner advised that if the members favored the rezoning, he recommended that effectuation of the rezoning be withheld until the Pun General Plan had been reviewed in detail and approved for issuance of a building permit. At this time the documentation submitted does not respond to all the requirements of the-Pun ordinance, therefore the current plan is considered a pun Concept Plan. Miller pointed out that it would be the applicant's responsibility to explore the R-3 zoning feasibility; Commission has the option to recommend denial of this application or to table until the matter is explored/explained. Acting Chairman Meury advised Commission members that it would be preferable to consider the Rezoning issue at the time the General Plan is submitted by the applicant; action this evening should be taken based on the Concept Plan issue only. He further stated that recommended approval of the concept plan would indicate to the applicant that if the General Plan were acceptable to Commission, rezoning of the parcel would be recommended. . Planner Miller concurred that approval of the concept plan would imply the rezoning would also be approved if the general plan met all requirements, however, it would not be mandatory to recommend approval of the rezoning. Moved by Martin, seconded by Thorn, that Commission recommend to Council denial of Case #87-23, pun Concept Plan for 48-unit Apartment Complex at the southwest quadrant of Highway 96 and Snelling Avenue, Reeves, based on the rationale that the proposal for R-4 zoning at a higher density is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which identifies this area for medium density development. Motion failed. (Martin and Thorn voting in favor; Meury, Petersen and Savage opposed) (2-3) Member Martin commented that an apartment complex may be,a more appropriate use, however, he preferred a lesser density complex. Thorn agreed. Moved by Petersen, seconded by Savage, that Commission recommend to Council approval of Case #87-23, pun Concept Plan, as submitted. Motion carried, (Petersen, Savage and Meury voting in favor; Thorn and Martin opposed) (3-2) In discussion, Mayor Woodburn stated that the City Attorney has advised that conditional zoning was not an acceptable legal stance. Planner Miller differentiated between the pun process which incorporated a rezoning, and a conditional zoning. Commission members concurred that the intent of the motion was to support the . pun Concept Plan only, at this time, furthermore, the rezoning of the property would be considered upon applicant submission of the General Plan. --------...---
