his property.

properties. This will be a single phased project and that they will work with all parties to

is anything suitable for residential. It is extremely dusty, heavy industrial area and she does not
see a reason to build a sidewalk.

whether this is necessary if there is no benefit to having a sidewalk here.

Townhome (TH) zoning district, for the property generally located at 1604 Forest Street (2020-7-REZ) --
Ethan Harwell, Senior Planner
Commissioner Perthuis removed himself from the dais at 7:50p.m.
Staff report by Harwell. The applicant is seeking to redevelop the subject property, currently
developed with single-family homes, with a group of townhomes. The subject property is flat
and contains no significant natural- features. Several mature trees of unknown species and size
are located on the property, primarily around the boundaries of the current single-family lots.
Two single-family homes exist on the subject property. They have estimated construction dates
of 1900 and 1940, and are listed on the Historic Resources Survey as low -priority structures. The
subject property has Future Land Use designation of Mixed Density Neighborhood and is
currently zoned Residential Single -Family (RS).
There was discussion between Commission members and staff about existing land use and
future land use. Commissioner Warren asked why six units would be allowed where usually
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 9 of 11
June 11, 2020
one or two houses would be in single family land use. Chair Brashear also requested
clarification how this area can be transition zone from residential to non-residential.
Harwell explained that the map is a future land use map, and while it may not make sense
today, this is what it may be like in the future. If this block continues to develop, there would be
slightly higher density uses in the future.
The applicant, Gary Wong, addressed the Commission and made a presentation to explain the
project request. He presented the conceptual plans for this project and explained the thought
process behind the designs.
Chair Brashear opened the Public Hearing.
Phil Brown commented that he is opposed to this request. This will cause an increase in traffic
and create problems. It is not appropriate within the existing neighborhood.
Alton Trubee is also opposed. The owner has not contacted Trubee to discuss plans.
Jenel Looney is also opposed.
Chair Brashear closed the Public Hearing.
Motion to recommend denial of Item AX (2020-7-REZ) by Commissioner Heintzmann.
