manner discussed at the previous meeting. The Commission
and the staff then discussed specific uses in the

Arterial Commercial Zone using the Commercial Use Matrix.
V PUBLIC HEARINGS
WHITE CREEK AREA REZONE - Rezone of approximately 3.2
acres from PBP (Public Buildings and Parks) to CAD
(Commercial Arterial District). Location: White Creek
area between First and Front Streets. (Continued from
May 11, 198 3 . )
Ms. Ross moved to take this item from the table. Mr.
Cornell seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Carr briefly reviewed the background material.
Chairman Hulett opened the public hearing and then closed
it because there was no one in the audience.
Ms. Ross moved to rezone the property from PBP to CAD
because this particular site is so steep that it has
little value as a park but has definite commercial
value, citing Commercial Policies 2 and 7 of the
Comprehensive Plan; to recommend that a standard-width
trail easement be retained on the western portion of the
property; and that any sale proceeds be set aside for
acquisition of future park lands as recommended by the
Park Board. Mr. Holm seconded the motion. Following
a discussion, the motion passed 4 - 2 with Messrs.
Cornell and Banner voting "No" because the Comprehensive
Plan, particularly Land Use Objective No.3, indicates
that this type of property should remain in PBP zoning,
the property functions as the part of the drainage basin
of White Creek, is valuable as open space, and there are
environmental problems with developing the area as a
commercial site.
VII
REPORTS OF COMMISSIONERS
The Commission discussed the proposed memo explaining the
recommendation to include medical retail sales in the
Office Commercial Zone. Following the discussion, Mr.
Cornell moved to send the memo as written. Mr. Holm
seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
The Commission expressed concern for Mr. Anderson.
There were no other reports from Commissioners.
