<br /> minimum building site area ) Districts to "RH " ( Residential-Hillside ) District ,
<br /> declared open and affidavits of publication and mailing ordered filed . There
<br /> were no communications . Staff report indicated that the Planning Commission
<br /> had , after a public hearing on May 25 , 1971, recommended that the rezoning
<br /> would be in the best interests of the City as a whole .
<br /> Mr . Robert Ferris , 1003 Eden Bower Lane ,
<br /> expressed opposition to the rezoning; and
<br /> objection to location of proposed swimming
<br /> pool .
<br /> Vice-Mayor Keckley pointed out that the hearing was on an application for re-
<br /> zoning and that the drawing in the presentation was not necessarily required or
<br /> appropriate in the consideration . If the rezoning should be approved , the proper
<br /> time for consideration of the proposed development would be when application is
<br /> made for Planned Development Permit .
<br /> Mr . Leon Rimov, 1483A Solano Avenue , Albany,
<br /> the applicant , described preparation for the
<br /> application and consideration of several
<br /> factors , such as type of adjacent development ,
<br /> traffic flow, safety ( walkways , lighting , etc . ) ,
<br /> drainage problems and desire to minimize cut
<br /> and fill , visual amenities , zoning and land
<br /> use , density and intensity of occupancy , and
<br /> the noise factor . The proposal called for
<br /> four single-family detached units , with the
<br /> entire landscaped area to be fenced off and
<br /> screened , and be maintained in common owner-
<br /> ship by agreement . He indicated in response
<br /> to question , price would be in excess of
<br /> $45 , 000 for each unit .
<br /> City Manager pro tem pointed out that the Planning Commission recommended the re-
<br /> zoning , but had not considered the Planned Development Permit , and that what is
<br /> approved might conceivably be quite different from what was being proposed . It
<br /> was also noted that under present zoning , three dwelling units would be permitted .
