the plan t10tion by Mr Aiello that Council Bill 58 (Ordinance 534), a
request to rezone property at 4395 Quay Street from Residential-Three to
Restricted Commercial-One be approved for the following reasons 1)
the neighborhood is changing, therefore warrants a zone change 2) a
fair amount of the surrounding area is commercial, therefore the pro-
posed zone change would be in conformance 3) Site plan has been submit-
ted by the applicant and the applicant will adhere to it I would also
stipulate the following conditions The applicant must adhere to site
plan that has been submitted including the restrictions stated on the
site plan When a permit is granted the recommendations from the Public
Works Department shall be followed, such as the curb, gutter, & sidewalk
conforming to City standards, the drainage report, if any of the

report, and those will be the only conditions; seconded by Mr Davis
t10tion by Mrs Snow that it be limited to 3 occupants only
Motion died for lack of second Mrs Snow stated she would vote No
because she felt it is not in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan and
although it is compatible with commercial uses across the street in both
directions, north and east, it is not compatible with residential uses
in the south and west, and it provides a precedent for future rezonings;
the staff and Planning Commission recommended denial and lastly and most
seriously, it does meet the minimum parking requirements, but she thinks
five parking spaces are inadequate when 44th Avenue cannot be used for
on-street parking />elotion carried 7-1 with Mrs Snow voting No
