369 Councilman Henderson moved to affirm action of the Planning Commission and deny the rezoning , seconded by Councilman Weymouth . Council discussed alternatives to the proposed R -3 zoning , including planned development , Dwelling Group , cul -de - sac access or through street for access . Planning Director explored ways this parcel might be developed under the present R-2 zoning , i . e . , by the cul -de - sac suggested entering off Hudson Street , but stating this means would consume so much of land that allowable density would be decreased by probably 20 -30%; describing the more economical dwelling group concept permitted in R- 1 or R-2 for a single site having a common drive facility privately owned and maintained ; or rezoning parcel to R-2 - P whereby land could be designed as a common development and lands subdivided for individual sale like townhouse development in Redwood Shores , this suggestion probably resulting in the greatest yield of the three possible methods for developing this site . Cutting a street through adjacent to YMCA property from Hudson to Ebener Streets , making lots facing on street and give a barrier between YMCA and the developable land , was discussed , Councilman Petersen opposed motion to affirm action of the Planning Commission to deny rezoning as felt proposed zoning for apartment house development more in keep - ing with the present status of the area than for single family development , acknow- ledging his awareness of problems faced by YMCA at present and his concerns , but felt moving of this facility must eventually be faced .
