Council Member Bauch spoke in opposition to the ordinance.
At the public hearing it was obvious that the people in the
area did not want this. The proposed zoning has only been in
the Comp. Plan for about three months, and there is no reason
to change it now.
Council Member Harris agreed with Mr. Bauch. The people in
the area want it to be R- 1 -7.2.
Council Member Moriwaki concurred. One of the primary
reasons the City Council supported the annexations was to
increase the single family residential density of the com-
munity, and this would be taking away from that objective.
There are nice homes in that area, and it would be sad to see
them destroyed just for quick profit.

Ross Earnst, Public Works Director, explained that the City
is agreeing to pay one -half the cost of the maintenance and
operation of the 16th Avenue Bridge. It is estimated to be
about $250,000 per year. The City is proposing to King
County that the overhead be limited to the level of the

1 /i 2. v NoT �f P
We have just found out that the annexation task force is recommending
that the zoning be residential for the area between the existing City
limit, 134th Street, 48th Avenue, and 135th Street. Please see the
attached map.
This property is located next to two major freeways and is extremely
noisy. Residential use of this property is poor planning. There is
already industry in the area and the boundaries described above are a
logical place to have M -1 zoning.
We, the undersigned, hereby request that our property be zoned M -1
when annexed to the City of Tukwila. M -1 is consistent with other
properties located in the immediate area which are currently in the
City of Tukwila, as well as follows the existing comprehensive plan
of this City.
Respectfully Submitted,

at 14915 - 57th Ave. S.
(Tukwila Junction).
Rezone of property
located at 4625 S.134th
to 4535 S. 135th from
R -1 -7.2 to M -1
(Halvorson)
Councilmember Moriwaki explained that to comply with appearanc
of fairness he wanted to inform Council that on July 2 he
stopped by one of the properties in question, contacted the
daughter of Mrs. Shultz who owns the white house. At that
time he was looking for available homes in Tukwila.
No one commented on Councilmember Moriwaki's statement.
Vernon Umetsu, Planning Department, entered the Planning
Commission Minutes, Staff Report and the applicant's submittal
contained in the Council packet as the exhibits. The rezone
area is 3.93 acres and lies west and north of the North Hill
reservoir site at the south end of 57th Avenue South.
Existing zoning for the site is R -1 -12.0, the applicant is
requesting R- 1 -7.2. The Planning Commission reviewed the
application's proposal and considered the subdivision of 17
single - family residential lots. They recommended that the
rezone be granted subject to completion of the final plat
within four_ years.
Mayor Van Dusen declared the Public Hearing open.
Bret Cummock of ESM, Inc., engineers for applicant, said they
agree with the Planning Commission's decision. Their lots
meet the minimum area requirement, none are under 7,200 square
feet. The project will be beneficial and a good project for
the City.
Councilmember Moriwaki asked if they know what they are going
to do with the existing structure.
Mr. Cummock said the plans are to demolish it.
D 3J2
Councilmember Moriwaki said this is one of the oldest homes
in the City. He hopes we can do something to save it.
Mr. Brad Decker, Starbow Builders, said the house is in poor
condition. The owner has been debating whether to rent it or
not because of the condition.
Councilmember Robertson asked why it was originally zoned
R- 1.12.0. Councilmember Bauch explained that there were no
sewers available.
There being no further discussion, Mayor Van Dusen closed
the Public Hearing.
Jack Pace, Planning Department, explained that this request
is for two lots located at 4625 S. 134th St. and 4535 S.
135th St. to be rezoned from R -1 -7.2 to M -1. The adopted
zoning on this during the Riverton Annexation process was
Comprehensive Plan designation of Light Industrial (M -1) and
the zoning was R -l. The applicant has come in now asking for
rezone. During the processing of the request they went throug!
a SEPA process. The applicant agreed to three conditions:
(1) An L.I.D. for S. 134th; (2) No access to S. 135th;
(3) To provide a 20 -foot buffer. along S. 135th.
The Planning Commission recommended approval because the
request meets the long -term intent of the City to provide
for Industrial use in this area. They also asked that one
condition be recorded with the property -- that no access be
provided to S. 135th Street. There is no immediate plan to
develop this property.
Councilmember Robertson asked what benefit there is to the
community to grant this rezone now when we don't have a
particular site plan?
Mr. Pace said the City Council has decided that the long -term
use of this is Light Industrial and the applicant is trying
to get ready for this use. The City has developed a process

to address short -term and long -term issues through the design

• Mayor Van Dusen declared the Public Hearing open.
Elizabeth Springer, 13325 42nd Avenue South, presented Council
with two pictures of the Halvorson property, the house on
this property needs a coat of paint. The houses south on the
adjacent properties are in good condition. This is not a
declining neighborhood. The Planning Commission overrode
what they feel is real need of community. Traffic comes
from Interurban up to South 134th then up 48th, crosses
South 135th and goes on up to Pacific Highway. This is no
place for increased industrial. Children use these streets
to and from school. This may have been a good idea at one tin
but now Tukwila needs people, people in a comfortable, happy
location. This proposal would take two good residences out
of use. She said she suggested to Mr. Halvorson that he
build medium priced housing. There was some mention made of
noise, but noise goes up the hill. It is not an ideal
situation to change it to Industrial. Freeway noise is not a
problem in this area. Tukwila needs to formulate more medium
priced housing. The people that annexed to the City wanted tc
protect their single - family homes. Under the County, they
felt they would have no input. The City needs moderately
priced housing and this proposal will not fulfill that need.
She asked Council to please vote "no" on this rezone.
Lon Halvorson, applicant, said he owns the property and the
existing building to the north of the property they are trying
to get rezoned. You do not have a marketable product if you
have to go through a rezone so they can't go out and find a
tenant, in good faith, without having the property rezoned
first. They have agreed to participate in an L.I.D. along
South 134th for sidewalks and widening of the roadway. This
would improve the safety aspect of that road. They have
agreed there would be no access to South 135th. One of the
houses on the site is in fairly good condition, the other is
not. It is the one nearest Macadam Road. The driveway to thi
house if off Macadam and is very dangerous. It would be a
poor house to keep. If you visit the site you can see how
noisy it really is. Staff and Planning Commission have
recommended approval of this rezone. He respectfully asked
Council to consider their request.
Bill Scheffler, 4033 South 128th, said he was on the
Annexation Task Force. They did not all agree that this area
should be zoned Industrial. If you drive down 48th Avenue
South, you notice that the property breaks off sharply down
to South 134th. These streets represent a very natural
.geographic barrier for Industry. They are concerned about the
impact on the adjacent house, what will happen to their
property values as single - family residential. Is it feasible
for them to develop to Industrial at a later date? They
think that the Halvorson property is the last,piece down
there that is flat enough to be a viable investment for
commercial buildings. There is noise down in the valley but
not as much as on the hill. The residents on the hillside
are looking down on warehouse roofs, we want some landscaping
to buffer not just an Alberta Spruce every 15 - 30 feet. Acce
on to South 135th (Macadam Road) is becoming more dangerous.
If Council approves this rezone request, he asked that the
end of South 134th be closed to no through traffic. It looks
pretty "cut and dried" until you take a look at the whole
neighborhood. He thanked Council for listening.
Mayor Van Dusen entered a letter from Ron Lamb, 4251 South 139
Tukwila, for the record. In his letter Mr. Lamb expressed
concern about the proposed Halvorson rezone.

Alan Ekberg, 4123 S. 130th, commented that a lot has been
said about not having street traffic come through the ware-
house area up to S. 135th, this seems to be a goal of the
Planners and the citizens of the neighborhood. He is also
concerned about the buffer, a buffer would be superficial
for people at street level. The houses are on the hillside
and look down on any development. The issues are: (1) The
residents overlook existing warehouse structures; (2) A
buffer wouldn't provide any buffer except for people at
street level; (3) This area should be kept residential becaus
the pre- annexation zoning board requested it to be residentia
If anything is to go there, he would prefer a step -down
approach from M -1 to a Commercial to Residential. He asked
Council to try to maintain this as residential, and keep
good faith with the community.
Bob Scarver, 13716 41st Avenue South, said one of the key
reasons he joined the Task Force was the fear of Seattle
annexing them and continuing the industrial development as
has been done already. They stressed the need to keep the
rural and residential areas intact and not allow any more
industrial. They live above this industrial area and get
a lot of noise -- freeway noise, loud speaker noise, truck
noise and they don't need anymore. He asked Council to rejec
the zoning change and leave it residential as requested by
the Task Force.
Vern Merrihew, 4431 South 148th, said he is concerned that
the Planning Commission and the staff recommended that this
be rezoned to Light Industrial. He sat on the Task Force als
and one of their concerns was that Light Industrial was not
adjacent to Residential. Wherever possible there should be
a step -down. in between. He asked Council to consider a
buffer between Light Industrial and Residential.
Elling Halvorson, 5063 West Lake Sammish Parkway, Redmond,
said he owns the building adjacent to this property and
owns one of these pieces of property. He and his son
purchased the second piece. He lived in the Riverton area
thirty years ago and has owned the industrial building next
to this property for fifteen years. No one should be
surprised that there is a request to rezone this property.
It has been part of the Comprehensive Mas for a long
time. He purchased the property on the strength of this
Plan. There are natural barriers for this property, it
is not spot zoning. No one who lives adjacent to this
property has come to a meeting. The neighbors support this.
He requested that Council approve this request. It is in
keeping with the zoning, has natural barriers and is
subject to the noise.
There being no further testimony, Mayor Van Dusen closed the
Public Hearing.

developed as light industrial. Lots to south and west are zoned R-1 and are in
single- family residential use.
Terrain: The part of the property fronting South 135th Street consists of a 30-
foot wide plateau which then slopes gradually toward 134th Street for
approximately 20 feet, then slopes gently the remainder of the distance.
. Access: Tax Lot No. 0051 is accessed via South 134th Street. Tax Lot Nos. 0046,

BACKGROUND
The site is located in the recently annexed Riverton area. The Comprehensive Plan
designation and zoning was discussed by the Planning Commission and the City
Council. The City Council wanted rezones to occur through a quasi- judicial process
so they can require conditions on an individual basis. The City Council designated
the area in the Comprehensive Plan as Light Industrial. The rezone process will
allow a smooth transition between uses.
Under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), the applicant has agreed to the
following conditions:
1. Applicant will cooperate with the City in the formation of a Local
Improvement District for South 134th Street, which may involve allowing an
easement for the road and sidewalks.
No access will be allowed off South 135th Street and as ; a condition for . approval
applicant agrees to provide a minimum 40 -foot wide access easement to 134th
Street or consolidate lots so that access will be limited to South 134th Street.
A landscape buffer (approximately 20 feet deep) will be provided along 135th
Place South and planted with trees and native vegetation. Landscape
requirements will be included in the 20 -foot buffer zone.
These conditions will limit the impact of the development on existing residential
areas.

Criteria are listed in bold. The Planning Commission and City Council shall be
guided by the following criteria in granting a zo i nap reclassification.
ZONING CODE REZONE CRITERIA
The use of change in zoning requested shall be in conformity with the adopted
Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan, the provisions of this title, and the
public interest.
The Comprehensive Plan designation 'for- proposed site is Light Industrial.
It is in conformance with the current adopted Comprehensive Plan. The
rezoning of this property addresses the following policies in the Tukwila

economically benefit each other or provide necessary services.
Policy 2, p. 60. Allow. for the location of new commercial and industrial areas
and the expansion . of existing ones when this expansion is
compatible with surrounding land use' and not detrimental to
the public welfare.
The proposed rezone will allow the expansion of an existing ,industrial area,
while having _minimal impacts on the abutting residential areas. The impacts
on. the residential are limited due to the change in topography, future design
review requirements, and limitations on commercial access to the site
2. The use or change it zoning requested in the zoning map Or this title for the
establishment of commercial, industrial or residential use 'shall be supported by
an architectural site plan showing the proposed development and its
relationship to surrounding areas as set forth in the application form.
The applicant does .not have a proposal for this site at . the time of this request.
• 'Any subsequent proposal will be' required to process through design review.

3. When the request is not in agreement with the Comprehensive Land Use
Policy Plan, the applicant shall provide evidence to the City Council's
• .satisfactionthat'there is an additional need for the requested land classification.
This request is in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Land Use. Plan.
STAFF REPORT -
to the Planning Corfunission
Significant changes have occurred in the character, conditions or surrounding
neighborhood that justify or otherwise substantiate the proposed rezone.
7 -R: Halvorson Rezone
Page'4
The properties located to the north and east are currently developed as light
industrial and the south and west are being used as single- family residences.
The applicant states in the rezone application the justification for this rezone
includes:
"1. Much of the immediate area has already been developed M -1.
2. Several of the homes in the area are rental...declining residential
neighborhood.
.. The property's pro to two major freeways has created a loud noise
area not suitable for residential development."
The proposed rezone is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and
welfare as compared to the hardship, such as diminution of property value,
imposed on the individual property owner.
The City Council has determined that the ultimate best use of this land is light
industry. New residential development is unlikely due to noise impacts from
the nearby freeway and existing industrial development.
The unimproved subject property is unsuitable for the purpose for which it has
been zoned considered in the context of the length of time the property has
remained unimproved and land development in the surrounding area.
The applicant states that the property has not been developed as a result of
industry in the immediate area, declining neighborhood as a result of renters
and noise from freeways. The adjoining sites on the north and east are
developed as light industry and may have inhibited further residential
development.
1. The proposed' zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Map and
addresses the previously stated policies.
2. There is no specific development proposal at this time for the site.
It' is important to consider the transition between the proposed and existing
uses. Currently there is an established older neighborhood abutting the
applicant's property.
STAFF REPORT
• to the Planning mission
g � = .e
'9.7 - -R: Halvorson Rezone
Page 5
In view of the agreed -upon SEPA conditions and the fact that any subsequent
development proposals will be required to undergo design review, it is highly
likely the transition between uses will be successful.
• It appears that locational and environmental factors have inhibited further
residential development on the subject sites.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Planning Staff recommends the applicant's request be approved for the rezone from
R-1-7.2 (Single- Family Residential) to M1 (Light Industrial) subject to the following
condition:
1. No access will be allowed off South 135th Street and as a condition for approval
applicant agrees to provide a minimum 40 -foot wide access easement to 134th
Street or consolidate lots so that access will be limited to South 134th Street.

Ron Lamb
4251 South 139th Street
Tukwila, WA 98168
Thank you for letting me express my concern.
July 17, 1989
Please allow me to express my concerns about the proposed
Halvorson rezone in the Fostoria area. During the pre -
annexation zoning process for the Foster area, I stated my
deep concern about designating the area between Macadam Road
and Interstate 5 industrial on the comprehensive plan, while
zoning it R -1 residential. My concern was that a rezone is
not as difficult to obtain as a comprehensive plan change
and is therefore not as much protection from an expansion of
industry as is needed.
Expanison of industrial zoning is one of the key issues
facing our community. Industrial uses force out residential
uses, and our community can ill afford to lose more
residents. We must draw the line somewhere. I believe that
the line should be drawn north of South 134th Street. I
would submit that South 132nd Street should be closed off at
South 134th Street to completely preclude the possibility of
truck traffic on Macadam. Further, I would submit that the
north side of 134th and the east side of Macadam should have
much greater than minimum vegetation and other buffers to
block the impact of industry on the residential area on the
west side of Macadam. The area west of Macadam is a stable,
single - family residential neighborhood. Because it is a
steep hillside, it is not suited and will never be developed
as an industrial area. The city must protect those residents
from unpleasant neighboring uses that could devalue their
homes or force them to move.
We must begin now to draw the line against the continuing
creep of industry up our valley. The current proposal should
be the first industrial use to provide adequate visual and
noise screening along Macadam Road and 134th.
My concern also is with the timing of this proposal, less
than three months after annexation. It does not send a very
settling message to those of us who live in the newly
annexed areas west of Macadam to see an industrial rezone so
soon after annexation. I hope this is not the beginning of a
pattern.

RE: Halvorson Rezone 89 -7 -R
Dear Mr. Pace,
In following up on our conversation prior to the Planning
Commission's Hearing I would like to clarify my statement quoted
on page 4, Item #6: "of the staff report, a declining
neighborhood." This was a poor choice of wording and I would like
to change it to "a neighborhood in transition."
I apologize to anyone offended by my first statement.
Sin erely,

PLANNING COMMISSION
JUNE 22, 1989
Mr. Knudson and Verhalen were absent.
The meeting was called to order at 8:00 p.m. by Chairman Jim
Haggerton. Members present were Messrs. Haggerton, Hamilton,
Cagle, Kirsop, and Flesher.
Representing the staff were Jack Pace, Molly Headley, and Joanne
Johnson.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - MR. HAMILTON MOVED AND MR. CAGLE SECONDED
MOTION TO APPROVE THE MAY 25, 1989 MINUTES AS WRITTEN. MOTION
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.
Jack Flesher was introduced and welcomed as the new Planning
Commission member.
89 -2 -R - HALVORSON REZONE - Rezone two lots, located at 4625
South 134th Street and 4535 South 135th Street, from R -1 -7.2
(Single Family Residential) to M -1 (Light Industrial).
Jack Pace, Senior Planner, reviewed the Staff Report and pointed
out the area of the rezone on a site plan. Staff recommendation
is approval of the rezone for the two lots subject to the condi-
tion that no access will be allowed of S. 135th Street and as a
condition of approval applicant agrees to provide a minimum 40-
foot wide access easement to 134th Street or consolidate lots so
that access will be limited to South 134th Street'.
Jack entered a letter into the record (Exhibit A) from William
Turner, dated 6- 22 -89. Mr. Turner expressed his concern as to
the traffic impacts a more intense use would have if this rezone
were permitted.
Lon Halvorson, the applicant, agreed with staff comments.
Elizabeth Springer, 13325 - 42nd Avenue S. spoke in opposition to
the rezone stating her concern regarding additional traffic
impacts; the potential loss of the present residential neighbor-
hood quality if commercial development were allowed. She sub-
mitted a letter reiterating her comments to the Commission which
Planning Commission
June 22, 1989
Page 2
was entered into the record as Exhibit "B ". In support of her
position, she distributed photographs for the Commission's review
which were entered into the record as Exhibit "C" (1 - 6). She
disagreed that comment that there is a deterioration in the
residential neighborhood in the area of the rezone.
Bill Scheffler, 4033 S. 128th Street, also spoke in opposition to
the rezone request, stating his concern for the noise, light and
traffic impacts a commercial development would have on the
surrounding residential neighborhood.
Al Ekberg, 4123 S. 130th, felt that as a member of the Riverton
Task Force, the primary purpose of the task force was to prevent
encroachment of commercial development into residential
communities. He further felt the historical significance of Lot
#25 would be lost if the rezone were approved; and traffic
impacts of a commercial development would seriously impact the
residential neighborhoods.
Bob Scarver, 13716 - 41st Avenue S. concurred with Mrs. Springer,
Mr. Scheffler and Mr. Ekberg's comments in opposition to the
rezone. He felt Tukwila has enough commercial development and
sees the encroachment of commercial development coming closer and
wants to see a stop to it. He disagreed that there is a
deterioration the residential neighborhood in the area of the
rezone.
Mr. Scheffler stated that houses rent or sell very quickly in
this area and therefore reflects an upward transition in the
neighborhood rather than a deterioration. He favored preserving
the single family residential quality.
Mr. Halvorson stated his desire is to maintain a positive
relationship with his neighbors and explained how he plans to
mitigate the traffic impacts, noise impacts and stated his
willingness to work with the neighbors in the area.
The Public Hearing was closed at 8:50 p.m. and discussion ensued
on the proposal.
MR. HAMILTON MOVED AND MR CAGLE SECONDED A MOTION TO APPROVE 89-
2-R, HALVORSON REZONE, BASED ON THE FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF
THE STAFF REPORT AND INCLUDING THE CONDITIONS AS STATED IN THE
STAFF REPORT, WHICH IS:
No access will be allowed of S. 135th Street and as a
condition of approval applicant agrees to provide a minimum
40 -foot wide access easement to 134th Street or consolidate
lots so that access will be limited to South 134th Street.

TO: THE PLANNING COMMISSION
To begin I disagree with FINDINGS Item 4. To the best of my
knowledge only Tax Lot 49 is accessed via South 135th Place (Macadam Road).
Tax lot?.31 adjacent to the South and not included in this rezone is a single
family dwelling and also has access to 135th. If the house pictured in photo #1 is
tax lot 46, then there is no access to the property thru this lot as the drop -off
is severe. Also steep is the access to 135th thru tax lost 49. The access to
49 is at a sharp, blind corner and the owner would be foolish to use it as
access so not much is being granted in closing access to 135th.
A formation of an LID will severely im6t tax lob. 28, causing
that residential owner to pay for streets and undergrounding of electrical wires
over a long expanse. The entire area of 48th Ave South up to and beyond
Macadam road will be equally impacted. Children ride bikes in this area and
walk to and from the school bus on 48th. During commute hours (now that the
bridge is closed - and even before then) 48th has a stream of cars that ascend
to Macadam Road and then up 137th by various routes until "99" is reach and the
traffic then goes beyond to their designation near and above Military Road.
Other than commuting hours there is still some traffic ascending to Military Road.
This will serve to destroy this single family residential area.
There is not adequaate protection from rezone to the other
residential lots adjacent to this property from whatever the owner intends to
build except other single family residences. So "here goes the nieghborhood."
It has been dreadful enough that all these Duwuamish wetlands have been filled
with warehouses but to add further commercial development immediately after
annexing this property indicates that Tukwila is continuing to "pave the valley"
within its jurisdiction and is not truely supportive of single family neighborhoods.
We need stable neighborhoods, not neighborhoods constantly threatened by
advancing new commercial and industrial areas. King County recognized this
in
when under the Highline Plan,in which we had great input, established its
zoning standards. Your policy prior to anneyltion was satisfactory - €or4,000
residents but today with a larger city you should be listening to and providing
for your newly acquired citizens. r .J- ' • f
The applicant refers to this as 1declining residential
neighborhood" because several properties are rental units. I disagree.
When there is a vacant house a sign is posted on a utility pole and with a
short time, the sign comes down, the property is rented. This is desirable
rental area where people can comfortably raise their children.
The other factor cited by the applicant is freeway noise.
Creating a light industrial zoning will only increase that noise. The freeway
noise cannot be diminished by increasing the immediate noise, as is evidenced
by the noise created by adjoining warehouses. Telephones ringing and loud
speakers can be heard as far up as 139th as well as next door.
As a last rebuttal item to the applicant's request, the new
citizens of Tukwila should not bear the burden of the applicant's purchase of
a poor investment, a poorly located 4perty. That is the risk the applicant
takes when purchasing property. Notice in other pictures the neartly mowed
unkempt
lawns and well kept properties. The only rubbish and /bushes is next to tax
lot 46 in an area which I thought belonged to the applicant. It prevents access
to tax lot number 32 by that owner.
This is a good neighborhood. Allow this to sink to commercial
and the entire area could well follow. Save and retain this neighborhoods
and its families and establish a precedent for other similar situations.

REZONE CRITERIA:
The burden of proof in demonstrating that the change is appropriate lies solely
upon the proponent. Generally, the more dramatic the change, the greater will
be the burden of showing that the proposed change is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan as implemented by the Zoning Ordinance. The proponent must
show in a clear and precise manner why the rezoning application should be
granted. The Planning Commission and City Council will review your proposal
using the following criteria. You may attach additional sheets and submit other
documentation to support your rezone application.
9. The use or change in zoning requested shall be in conformity with the
adopted comprehensive land use policy plan, the provisions of this title,
and the public interest;
FiESOb change in zoning is in conformance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
2. See July 28,1989 letter to Jack Pace Re: Zoning at annexation.
10. The use or change in zoning requested in the zoning map or this title for
the establishment of commercial, industrial, or residential use shall be
supported by an architectural site plan showing the proposed development and
its relationship to surrounding areas as set forth in the application form;
RESPONSE:
plan. Our wish is to be consistant with the property we already_own(M-1)
which abutts the property in question. By obtaining a rezone WP wi i hp ahle

11. When the request is not in agreement with the Comprehensive Land Use Policy

12. Significant changes have occurred in the character, conditions or surround-
ing neighborhood that justify or otherwise substantiate the proposed rezone.
1. Much of theimmediate neighorhood has already been developed M -1.
2. Several of the homes in the area are rental and they are not being cared for
the same as owners might. Declining residental neighborhood.
3. The property's proximity to 2 major freeways has created a loud noise
13. The proposed rezone is in the best interest of the public health, safety,
and welfare as compared to the hardship, such as diminution of property .
value, imposed on the individual property owner.
RESPONSE: This rezone should not be a hardship to anyone. The value of the land exceeds
the value of the homes in this area if zoned M -1, which is consistant with the comp-
rehensive Plan. New Residental Development in this area would not be in the best
interest of public Health, Safety and Welfare because of the freeway
14. The . unimproved subject property is unsuitable for the purpose for which it
has been zoned considered in the context of the length of time the property
has remained unimproved and land development in the surrounding area.
Declinning neighborhood - Transition from owner to renters.
