Commissioner Shepherd said he was pleased to see how the neighbors have come down to state their position. He felt that when people buy property and a specific zoning exists in their area, he thinks it is unfair to change the zoning on them. He recommended denial of the General Plan amendment. Commissioner Doherty concurred with this position. He felt the existing commercial is appropriate for development, but did not agree with an expansion of that commercial development. Commissioner Jamieson felt that the existing commercial zoning was adequate to serve the residential area. But he could not support this application. Chairman Butler said that personally he felt that the impact on neighbors and the City is not going to be worse than high density multiple development. There is also a serious consideration for City's need for further commer- cial development. Resolution No. 1619 was entered and adopted recommending to the City Council denial of GP-78-2 as petitioned.
