1.        1204 Iris Street.  ABAN 125-05: Request to abandon a portion of Ruth Street; R-2 zone; Thomas Preston, applicant. (Continued from September 14, 2005)  (Phil Dunsmore) 

Following a staff presentation in support of the proposed abandonment, the Commission briefly discussed the matter and motioned to recommend approval of the request to the City Council.  On a 7-0 vote, a resolution was approved to recommend the right-of-way abandonment to the City Council.

2.        3201, 3212, 3220, 3230 and 3240 Broad Street.  PD and ER 78-05: Request for a planned development rezoning to expand allowable uses for The Village Marketplace, and environmental review; C-N-S zone; Dan Lemburg, applicant.  (Phil Dunsmore) 

Staff presented a discussion that described why PD zoning would not accomplish the applicant’s goals of expanding allowable uses at the property and asked the Commission to consider alternatives such as rezoning to C-C.  Following discussion regarding parking ratios, and proposed uses for the site, Commissioner Miller motioned to recommend the applicant return for a rezone and General Plan Amendment to C-C. The motion failed on a 4-3 vote. Commissioner Christianson motioned to recommend the applicant return to the Planning Commission with a request to re-zone the property to C-C-S with a refined land use list as presented in staff’s recommended alternative #2. The motion passed on a 7-0 vote.  The Commission followed up the motion with a discussion to clarify that additional properties within the 4-creeks project area should be included within a C-C zone.
