Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 3, 2019 Page 29 ties along Rice Street, south of County Road B and perhaps north of County Road B up to a point as community business locations. There was definitely a vision that along that corridor there was going to be an intensification of use. Mayor Roe thought there is a desire in the Metro area to look at Rice Street as a better and improved transit corridor and he thought the opportunities for folks us- ing transit in that area are going to be hopefully increase. He stated from experi- ence, living with his senior grandmother who went through the depression and a number of other things, she was very adept at planning around bus schedules and he thought that was something that people learn to do when transit is a part of their life. Despite the lack of service that people might think of in terms of day to day lives for most people, it can work very well for people, especially people who are otherwise dependent on a once a week ride. For those reasons, he thought the land use change makes sense. He says that with the complete acknowledgement that there are still transitional issues. He thought, in that Zoning District, the building could be within thirty feet of the back property line and he thought that the acknowledgment is the City does not want to do that next to single family res- idential and so the plan is to put the building as far away as possible from the sin- gle family residential. There is the benefit in this area of some deeper lots and will reduce the impact on the homeowners to the west and north. It is not going to make it perfect and will not be the same as it is now, but the reality is this type of land use on this site tends to make sense, so he was supportive of the Comprehen- sive Plan Land Use Designation change. Roll Call Ayes: Groff, Etten, and Roe. Nays: Willmus, Laliberte. Etten moved, Groff seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1571 (Attachment D) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Title 10 Of The City Code, Changing Certain Real Property Located At 165 Owasso Boulevard, and 3011, 3029, and 3033 Rice Street From Low Density Residential-1 (LDR-1) District and Neighborhood Business (NB) District To High Density Residential-1 (HDR-1) District." Roll Call Ayes: Groff, Etten, and Roe. Nays: Willmus, Laliberte. Mayor Roe commented Conditions Seven and Eight the shall language is not car- ried through from the other conditions, is there any staff or attorney concern about the language as is without having "shall". He asked if there was any intent on those. City Attorney Gaughan did not think that was done by design, but he did not think it materially alters the requirement.
