remaining land in that zoning district is not
ready for development and should remain zoned
agricultural until such time as it is ready
for development.

to the possible moritorium on rezoning over three
acres brought up at the last Planning Commission
meeting, staff felt that such a morotorium would
not be a good idea at this time. Commissioner

Zoning Officer explained to the Planning PRELIMINARY PLAT
Commission a list of concerns that the ADDITION
City staff has with the preliminary plat.
He indicated that the total number of units
in the proposed project exeeeded the number
allowed by the density requirements in the
City Zoning Ordinance, but that in 1971, the
City Council had approved the total number of
247 units provided all other zoning requirements
were met. He suggested that in order to clarify
the record, the Planning Commission should grant
a variance on thetotal number of units.
