Chairman Murray explained the purpose of the special meeting was to clarify the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to the City Council concerning
the request of Jay Johnson for rezone of ten acres of property and for annexation with
initial zoning of thirty acres of property located south of East Sunnyside Road across from
Carolyn Lane/Hillcrest High School. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this
request at a Public Hearing held May 6, 1997.
Jay Johnson reviewed his request and proposed that two-thirds of the property be zoned R-I and
one-third be zoned R-2. The zoning proposal differs from the original request. Townhouses are
planned for the cul-de-sacs and single family dwellings will abut the Felt Waite addition. A
development agreement and/or protective covenants will identif'y restrictions including no
multi-family rental units and only two-unit townhouses per lot.
.
Legal counsel recommended no further public input because the hearing was closed at the May
6, 1997 meeting. However, the public was invited to this meeting so they are aware of what is
happening. The zoning has been moved downwards from R-2A to R-2. The City Council will
conduct a Public Hearing to consider the request on June 5, 1997.
