Sue Porter, 1236 Chianti, commented that the HPD District would be ideal, and if the property cannot be developed in HPD, then leave it as it is. Mr. Burke Critchfield, representing the applicant, indicated that his client would not want HPD, but a PUD zoning on the property. At this time, there is no formal development plan to present. They expressed an intent to develop a plan which the existing property owners would be happy with. The Public Hearing was closed. Commissioner Shepherd was puzzled as to why staff is now recommending PUD, with Commissioner Doherty expressing the same position. They felt HPD is the correct zoning for the property. Commissioners Jamieson and Wood ex- pressed similar reactions. Chairman Butler commented that everyone is in agreement that the property should not be developed according to the old cut and fill method. Chairman Butler also wondered why HPD zoning would not be appropriate in this case. But, he questioned applying the HPD zoning if it means the developer can only build one unit per five acres. In this case, he feels HPD zoning would not be equitable. It is important to note that specific development plans can be as restrictive as the Planning Commission and City Council wish them to be. Secretary Harris felt that this property is inappropriate for HPD zoning. He cited an example where the HPD zoning was applied - Longview - which he felt is appropriate for the slope of the land. Commissioner Doherty suggested that the HPD ordinance be looked at with the section on incremental slope reviewed. City Attorney Levine explained to the Planning Commission about the intent of the HPD Ordinance as it applies to this City. He also touched upon interpretation of density under the HPD zoning. He recommended that PUD be imposed in this instance. Chairman Butler reiterated that the PUD District objectives can be made in this case. After further discussion, Resolution 1613 was entered and adopted making the finding that zoning of the property to the Hillside Planned Development District would be appropriate and that that zoning would not have a signifi- cant impact on the environment.
