Commissioner Jamieson indicated he would prefer to change/delete the <br />date on the variance to spot-rezoning of this property. <br />Commissioner Leppert agan stated he didn't feel this area is appro- <br />priate for residential zoning. He stated the General Plan is wrong <br />as far as he is concerned. <br />Mr. Harris reminded the Commission that the area is presently zoned <br />Residential and the street has residential uses on it. A rezoning would <br />create mixed land uses. <br />Commissioner Jamieson stated he would like to know when Jorgensen <br />plans to move and relocate. Tom Jorgensen responded that this is diffi- <br />cult to tell and is predicated on how well the business does. Jorgensen <br />further stated he could not expand on the land he purchased in 1950 <br />and if forced to move because they cannot expand and sold the land it <br />would restrict the land use as they would have to move the warehouse <br />building, etc. He stated the area is not a prime R-1 area. <br />Commissioner Jamieson stated if the property was rezoned to C-S and <br />Jorgensens move out, they could sell the property for more money. <br />Commissioner Getty stated she shared the same feelings. She stated the <br />Jorgensens have a low-profile business but feels that if they are at <br />their limits they would probably move in the near future and control <br />would be lost. <br />Commissioner Jamieson then asked how close the nursery school was to <br />the subject site and Mr. Harris explained the proximity. <br />Commissioner Doherty stated he is opposed to "spot zoning" and the <br />neighbors have expressed opposition to commercial in this area and he <br />could not support rezoning of this property. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Geppert, seconded by Commissioner <br />Jamieson that the proposed project would not have a significant <br />effect on the environment and, thus, recommended the negative declara- <br />tion be approved. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br />Ayes: Commissioners Geppert, Getty, Jamieson and Chairman Doherty <br />Noes: None <br />Absent: Commissioner Wilson <br />Resolution No. 1793 was then entered and adopted approving the negative <br />declaration for RZ-79-13. <br />A motion was then made by Commissioner Jamieson, seconded by Commissioner <br />Getty that RZ-79-13 be denied. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br />Ayes: Commissioners Getty, Jamieson and Chairman Doherty <br />Noes: Commissioner Geppert <br />Absent: Commissioner Wilson <br />-3- <br />
