PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
No adverse comments have been received from any reviewing
agency. A few neighbors have expressed concern about the
proposed zoning and are expected to appear at the meeting in
protest. The Heights/Hillcrest Plan being proposed for this
area shows the future land use as approximately the same as
the existing zoning in the area. There are scattered
duplexes in the area some of which are properly zoned and
others not.
Staff essentially supports the in -fill of duplex
construction on this lot feeling that it would not produce
ill effects on the neighborhood, but we are reluctant to
support the "R-4" zoning requested. The existing "R-3"
zoning will permit such duplex construction as a conditional
use.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that this application be converted to a
request for a conditional use permit for the duplex. This
would necessitate that the applicant submit a site plan
showing the proposed location of the new structure for
consideration by the Planning Commission. This can be
accomplished in a timely manner and should produce no undue
hardship on the applicant.

COMMISSION ACTION
The applicant was present and there were several objectors.
The applicant discussed the plans for the duplex stating
that it would be of all brick construction and presented a
site plan of the proposed development. The opponents,
represented by Mrs. Holmer Morehart of 5409 "C" Street,
presented a petition with 17 signatures and stated that 7
opponents were present. Their opposition to the request
centered around parkinq problems in the area, what they
perceived as safety issues for children and the potential
for devaluation of the property if the duplex were to be
constructed on this property.
The applicant agreed to amend the request to a conditional
use permit rather than seek the rezoning to "R-4." The
Planning Commission reviewed his site plan which showed that
the proposed development would meet all setback requirements
required for a duplex and would provide the required
parking. In fact, the design showed four parking spaces
wherein the ordinance would require only three. After this
discussion and review, the Commission moved to approve the
conditional use permit to permit a duplex on this property.
The motion was passed: 7 ayes, 2 noes, 2 absent.
