The Planner informed the Board of memorandum dated June 29/67 re-
ceived from the City Manager on the subject of refiling of zoning
cases, text as follows:
tilt is my understanding that all rezoning items before the
Commission at the last hearing on North Osceola were to be
reheard without prejudice at the next hearing. Please
process them.lI
, '
Mr. Wolle reported that he had confirmed these instructions verbally
and had further informed the City Manager of memo sent to the City
Attorney for clarification as to t~e necessity for refiling.
The Board was again oriented as to the location of these proper-
ties along Osceola, with map-drawing being displayed showine indivi-
dual parcels of ownership by color legend. Mr. Wolle confirmed that

,rhe Chairman appraised the si tUntion as being such that, based
on his understanding of Board opinion, the Board would probably have

be provided under R-II zoning. The Chairmun further advised that it,
I~ was his opinion (and to his knowled~e the opinion of City officials)
that the zoning should be left in the existing classification until
such time as specific plans for development were disclosed. Upon
inquiry made, the Planner reviewed certain Zoning Ordinance provisions
under Sec. 26-118, Planned Uni+ Developments, 'with particular refer-
ence,to Paragraphs (3) detailing scope and application and (S)(a)
through (c) covering Si te Development t1aster Plan content and pro-
cessing. Mr. Wolle agreed with determination made that the R-3 PUD
does not restrict a developer to any set density pattern and that any
limitation on height, size of buildings, etc. could only be imposed
as a consideration of plan approval. Members indicated concern that
under either R-4 or R-3 pun zoning a pattern of low-cost or medium-
cost projects might follow not in'character with the existing land
uses and the best potential of these sites..
Mr. Mylander quoted, as information, excerpt from an article
in Florida Planning and Development, edited and published by Fred Bair,
Jr., a recognized zoning authority. Such article on the subject of
"Spot Zoning-POlicy Report for a PlanninE Commission" concerned guide-
lines for consideration of applications for what appear to be spot
zoning changes.
After further revie~1 of the applications and discussion of all the
facets of Board restudy of the Osceola area, Mr. Ilev ~oved that the
. .....",.",~/
Board recommend denial of request for R_l~ zoninp. bv subiect aODlicants
(Robbins, McDonald, J1eissner-Walker, Bleaklev, and Waddell) ann reco~-
mend that ~roperty of reauest be retRined as R-l and R-2 in the best
interest of the City. Mr. Iley's motion was seconded bv Mr. Rea~~.

The Planner inquired of Mr. Tley i.f he was thinking in terms that
the R-3 PUD would be offered to these applicants. Mr. Iley replied,
