RESOLUTION NO. 69-186
WHEREAS, the City Manager was directed to draft a resolution denying
Planning Commission Application No. 69013 on the basis of reasons enunciated
by the City Council, including:
1. The subject property has continuously been conceived as
R -1 in nature and there has been no significant change relating
to the property since the last zoning review in June, 1968;
2. The proposed rezoning violates the general concepts of the
Comprehensive Plan;
3. The proposed rezoning constitutes spot zoning;
4. The proposed rezoning does not meet the goals of the Comprehensive
Plan for the west central neighborhood
5. The cost of developing the subject land for R -1 purposes is not
substantiallydifferent from the cost of developing the land for
R -5 purposes;
6. With respect to non economic factors, no reliable testimony was
introduced to indicate that it is not feasible to develop the -land
for R -1 use.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of

by Jerry E. Harrington
