Mayor Pro Tern Garcia opened discussion to the public.
Corrine Robinson, 22145 De Berry Street, strongly recommended that the Council
approve the proposed Ordinance. She requested that there be a key, included with the
tables in order to know what the letters stand for. She questioned the definition of
the R3 Zone and the number of structures that would be allowed.
Associate Planner Lampe, responded that he could provide a key to the table. He
indicated that the Planning Commission feels that if you are making a commitment
to develop a property for single family residential purposes so therefore if a
commitment is going to be made to develop the property for single family uses they
should be more or less restricted to single family detached type uses and no more
than two such dwellings. He indicated that if someone owns an R2 lot and they want
to build a tri-plex on it they should be allowed as long as it meets the density
standards. This would be true for the R3 Zone as well.
