In the future, to avoid confusion, Mr. Cornell requested
staff to include friendly amendments as part of a motion,
rather than a separate amendment. The Commission concurred.

Commission could consider the item for which the citizen
wished to have addressed prior to the agenda items as
scheduled. The Commission concurred unanimously.
Dennis Alwine, 519 South Peabody, briefly described the
background on a request for a Zoning Code Amendment to the
RMF Zone dealing with housing density and a possible
amendment to the Parking Ordinance for subsidized low income
senior housing developments.
Mr. Miller briefly reviewed the city council's referral of
the item to the Planning commission.
There was considerable discussion on Federal financing for
housing projects, Federal regulations for those projects,
and a proposal which had been presented earlier in the year
for a housing project within the City which would not meet
present zoning and parking Ordinance requirements.
