The Mixed Use District was established in response to requests from property owners in <br />that area to construct single-family residential houses, which are not allowed in the Neighborhood <br />Commercial District. <br /> <br />Public hearing notices were mailed to all property owners located within 200’ of the subject site. <br />The city received five responses from the mail-out, all in favor of the rezone request. <br /> <br />b.Applicant Presentation <br /> <br />The applicant and staff presentations were one in the same. <br /> <br />c.Public Comments (for, against, or questions) <br /> <br />Chuck Rosa addressed the Commission. Mr. Rosa stated he was originally opposed to the request <br />because it was city-initiated, but has since changed his mind after learning that residents in the <br />area had approached the city about the rezone. Mr. Rosa encouraged any Commissioners with a <br />possible financial interest in the zone change to abstain from voting. <br /> <br /> <br />
