Michelle Leininger presented these items together. She noted that the Hillcrest Neighborhood Association task force has been working on this.
Item 18: An 84 unit apartment complex. NW corner is a separate lot and included in packet is a copy of the approved site plan; the corner is identified for future commercial use, leaving it as C-5 would be appropriate. The commercial lot is separately platted.
Item 19: The back portion of Eagle’s Club Lodge and a vacant lot. The proposed zoning is less dense of a residential district than the current zoning district yet allows professional office uses.
Item 20: The lots are currently developed with 4-plexes.
Item 21: Currently developed with duplexes and single-family home.
Item 22: Currently developed with a single-family home. Staff recommended denial on this item, asking it be initiated to RM-1, a more appropriate density between single-family and high-density residential to the east. Property owner was unable to be here, but has been working with the neighborhood and is willing to downzone to RM-2 but not to RM-1 as staff had recommended.
Item 23: This is a portion of a property that the remaining is zoned RS-2, single-family residential. The recommendation would allow the item to be zoned like the rest of the property.
Item 24: apartment complex.
Item 25: triplex
Item 26: 72-unit apartment building
Item 27: vet office
Krebs: 22: On the one recommending denial, speak to differences and reason the owner did not want to go down to RM-1. Staff: Density allowed in RM-2 is 21 units per acre and RM-1 is 12 units per acre. The owner bought the property for redevelopment potential.
Public hearing
Item 18: A member of the neighborhood supported staff recommendation.
Harris wondered what size of business could go in that space. A representative for the property owner commented that the primary thought was that it would be an ATM to serve the population of the apartment complex.
Action taken

Public hearing
Item 25: James Dunn, who owns the properties that are a part of this item, excluding 705 Arkansas, commented that his properties should remain a commercial zoning because historically it has been commercial property. He asked the body to pull off the four addresses he owned and not change those four to residential.
Emily Hill noted that she was somewhat torn on the issue because originally the task force wanted C-1 zoning for that area but the C-1 zoning is not an option for the area. She liked the idea of small neighborhood commercial area. The new Development Code was mentioned regarding a district where neighborhood commercial and residential would be allowed.
Staff clarified that the district being proposed is the CN-1 District, which allows commercial and residential development. These properties could be revisited for zoning after the adoption of the Development Code.
Meeting extended until 12:30 p.m.

Motioned by Krebs, seconded by Ermeling to to approve the rezoning of 705 Arkansas but not of the Michigan addresses, with the understanding that the Commission will revisit the zoning at a time when we have appropriate zoning category.
