103 Mr. Butler commented that he is concerned about preserving the rural life style of the Happy Valley area. At the same time, the City has received numerous requests from property owners adjacent to the City limits to annex and develop. The North Sycamore study is a major attempt to define how this could be done and will have a significant impact on the entire area. The property under consideration is not included in NSSP. It is already in the City limit and has a General Plan designation on it. He stated that he would support the rezoning because it would not significantly change anything that the property already has. However, he has some definite questions about the development of the property. Ms. Mohr stated that she would support the rezoning and the consistency with the General Plan. However, she has serious reservations about the parcel map and the timing when those matters come to Council. Mr. Tarver stated that he would not support the rezoning. He continued that he would like to see one plan for the entire area and that it was premature to make any commitments about what needs to be done. He added that he does not fully agree with the General Plan's designation of the property as Medium Density. It was moved by Mr. Brandes, and seconded by Mr. Butler, that Ordinance No. 1453 be introduced, to be read by title only and waiving further reading thereof, approving RZ-89-17, Tri-Mesa Development Company, the application to rezone an approximately 50,250 sq. ft. parcel located at 417 Sycamore Road from the "A" (Agricultural) District to the R-l-10,000 (Single-family Residential) District and the R-1-8,500 (Single-family Residential) District or to any other zoning district consistent with the General Plan. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Butler, Mohr and Mayor Mercer NOES: Councilmember Tarver ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Mr. Brandes asked Mr. Roush what the status of considering annexation to Amber Lane is. Mr. Roush replied that it was his understanding that the City would go ahead with the annexation procedure even if the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the Specific Plan for the area have not been completed. He indicated that the report should be ready for either the March 6th or March 20th Council meeting. 11.
