1.(36 Councilman Arnett invited Mr. Rossman to indicate how he would amend the Ordinance to accomplish what he would like to have it do. Mr. Rossman felt the requirement should not be by lot size, but by district, Planning Director advised that it was true that in the event of rezoning to R-4, for example, the proposal before the Council would tie into zoning, rather than land, He added that the Planning Commission did not want to make the hillside area exclusive territory for only those who could afford large lots, Councilman Petersen agreed that concern expressed was valid, but the proposed amend- — ments were at least an attempt, and were not being considered in haste.

Continued PUBLIC HEARING, Resolution of Intention of the Planning Commission to amend Ordinance No. 1130, the Zoning Ordinance, to modify the requirements of Planned Development Permit applications, declared open and affidavits of publication _ ordered filed. Hearing on this matter had also been continued from February 16 to permit consideration by full Council. The Planning Director explained the workings of this proposal, in that at the pres- ent time, before an application can be filed for Permit, the area must be zoned with P -Combining District. The present proposal simplifies the ordinance and lifts the restriction limiting to one acre minimum lot size for Planned Development Permits, and eliminates the "P -Combining" designation. He added this would not be a short-cut, because the
