Mr. Rutenberg presented his request for annexation zoning of the
subject tract and explained the usage intended to be within the
zoning requested. Various questions from members were answered
concerning matters such as quality of construction and dimensions of
buildings planned, basis of apartment occupan6y,parking facilities
to be provided, expected tenancy of the PRS and Business build-
ings, and availability of city utilities to the tract. In reply
io questioning as to whether the project would be economically feasi-
ble if he was to limit.his zoning to PRS and R-4, Mr. Rutenberg
~tated that he couldntt answer th~t question; as they have never
built an office building before and did not have past experience on
~I ,. ,
which to forecast a time table for commercial occupancy to be ac- '
" . .?'......"
. \.-,,'
complished.
At 4:15 P. Mg, applicants were thanked. for their attendance
, and retired from the meeting.
After. further review and discussion, the following, tJlotion was
E~ssed unanimously:
"That the Board recommend approval for annexation with R-4
and PRS zoning only and no Ousiness zoning. The reason for
denial of Business zoning is because there is already a hu~i-
ness zone across Belcher to the southwest and also a business
.,"w
zoned area adjoining this tract to the south, fronting on the
east side of Belcher Road. These areas together the Board
regards as providing adequate business zoning to serve this
localityu Also the granting of this business zoning at this
lo6ation ~ould be a precedent for further extension of business
'. ~ .' ,
zoning to the south and establishment of II nil 7.oninp, near other
R-l zones in this area. IT
