Curt Altschul, 6324 Calle Altamira, Citizens for Balanced Growth, addressed the Commission. They are opposed to the rezoning as described. He stated that the first three buildings approved after the PUD are also in his opposition. The reasons for opposition relate to too much density. Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Altschul that if the City left the zoning as it is if he would prefer truck terminals, tire sales, etc. vs what is proposed. Mr. Altschul stated he would not if he could have a guarantee but is not sure that it could be given and that this would be the decision of the City. Joe Callahan, CPS, stated the zoning request would increase the controls and the controls are utilized. He stated that density is not germane because they have CC&R's to control density throughout the park. He reiterated that this is strictly enforced. Mike Kringle, 5307 Sonoma Drive, said he would like to have this site approved. It would provide funds to the City through sales taxes and property taxes. He felt the industrial park on the whole is very well designed, the buildings are aesthetically pleasing, the landscaping is being done very well; and the City cannot go forward with now growth. He felt perhaps some of the revenue could be used for school buses. -3-
