Mr. Hendrix added that the City staff was concerned <br />with negati-e impact to the City. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja stated that staff's primary concerns about <br />the land being rezoned for a shopping center were: 13 no <br />immediate thoroughfare was planned, 2) it would have a <br />significant negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood, <br />3) there is sufficient lane already zoned commercial, and <br />4) i~ is one of the few nice entrances to the City which <br />would be negatively impacted by the rezoning. Mr. Huja <br />stated that the staff's recommendation would probably be <br />against rezoning were the land in the City. <br /> <br /> Dr. Charles Hurt, developer of the land proposed for <br />rezoning, stated that the land probably would not be <br />developed for ten to twenty years and requested that Council <br />support the rezoning because he felt it would be an <br />attractive development and would be appropriate for the area. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck stated that he was concerned about the <br />rezoning because of increased traffic problems into the <br />City and especially on Jefferson Park Avenue and because <br />it would put a major commercial area next to a residential <br />area. <br /> <br /> It was agreed that the matter would be deferred until <br />the December 16th meeting. <br /> <br />APPROPRIATION: ADJUSTMENT - SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION (2nd reading) <br /> <br /> The Adjustment Appropriation for School Construction <br />which was offered at the November 18th meeting was approved <br />by the following vote.
