1,6 administrative supporting district for the Central Business District and Government Center which has not been developed this way. Further review of area and possible developments which might occur under this pro- posed rezoning described by Staff, with recommendation that Commission might con- sider the addition of the "0" Combining District only to these lots unless other property owners were willing to request the addition of the A -Combining District to zoning of their properties. Paul Tessendorff, 45 Claremont, asked for further clari- fication of reasons for area being requested for rezoning. Warner Britschgi, 710 Brewster Ave., questioned effect on property values and taxes if proposed rezoning adopted. Planning Director responded to questioning by stating change of zoning proposed would provide for slight increase in flexibility in kiwis of use which would be allowed, so in this respect from a land owners' standpoint, it could be con- sidered more desirable, whereas a different viewpoint from tenant might result. He also reported Planning Commission had felt it justified for A -Combining Dis- trict to be added to proposed rezoning because of property being situated across from a Commercial area, insuring architectural approval of design, layout of parking, and landscaping to be approved at the time building permit is applied for. Councilman Petersen moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Coun- cilman Rosselli and carried. Councilman Rosselli, based on facts submitted, moved to accept recommendation of the Planning Commission and introduce Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance rezoning property described, seconded by Councilman Granger. On question, Coun- cilman Henderson opposed rezoning proposed for this area because the Downtown Plan for areas in close proximity to downtown area show high density residential, and she felt this rezoning to be a departure from this intent. Councilman Keckley also disapproved proposed rezoning for similar reasons in that it would not be in line with downtown plan and the present rezoning proposed would not attract high density growth and combining district shouldn't be added to this area, which might be detrimental to County Civic Center. He urged recommendation to grant this rezoning be denied. Councilman Rosselli expressed his reasons for favoring rezoning proposed and recommended by Planning Commission as being compatible to the downtown area plan- ning. Motion to introduce Ordinance rezoning property as requested tied on roll call vote, Councilmen Granger, Petersen and Rosselli voting yes, Councilmen Hender- son, Keckley and Vice -Mayor Bury voting no, Mayor Herkner being noted absent. City Attorney explained the tie vote resulted in no action effecting rezoning, and explained how this matter could again be presented to the Council through another application after required length of time, or by Planning Commission action.
