Council referred this to the Planning Ccrrnission for review. The moratorium/study area was adopted by Council and this property is in the study area. The Planning Ccrnnission voted 3 to 2 to reconmend approval of the zone change. A decision must be made by May 25, 1985 or the project could automatically be approved because of the six month time period having passed since the original applications were filed. Mr. Rangel further explained the concern of Staff regarding the property not being compatible with the neighborhood, no way of controlling noise with a block wall, the irregular shape of the lot and code enforcement problems associated with the property. Staff is reccmnending denial of the zone change and the zone variance. In response to Councilman King's question Mr. Rangel responded that the original reccnnendation was for approval, but now Staff is reccmnending denial. He explained that this was because they did not know then that this would be in the project areas or that the property straddles Flood Control property. One of the real problems is that the ownership of the property is fragmented. Mayor White declared the Public Hearing Open on Z-453 & ZV-518 and invited those wishing to speak to cane forward. Roy Test, 15115 Kenoak, spoke regarding the zone change and building on this property and the noise needing to be contained better when this is improved, Mayor White declared the Public Hearing closed. Council discussed the work being done outside the building that is in violation to the Municipal Code. Council agreed that approval of the project would open the doors to further degradation in the City and there was a need to solve problems now.
