Planning Commission report read in which it was stated after a public hearing they had recommended "RH" zoning for this area . Staff reported the area consisted of approximately 8 . 79 acres of land , including the street area , and contained 29 lots in 15 ownerships , lot sizes in single ownership ranging from 8 , 700 sq . ft . to approximately 76 , 000 sq . ft .
