. . . Planning Commission Minutes November 28, 1989 Page 3 Mrs. Carl Benson of 540 A Auburn Place was concerned with the access onto Auburn and the additional traffic this would create. Sydney Reed of 530 A Auburn Place questioned whether the C-3 zoning would make the property compatible with adjacent property. Steve Rohlf indicated that this zoning would be consistent with the uses along Dodge Avenue. Mrs. Allen Lilja of 536 C Auburn Place questioned the L shaped parcel and the C-3 zoning classification. After discussing this issue in great length, the general consensus of the Planning Commission was that a residential buffer was needed along Auburn Place. Discussion was held on the amount of land needed for this buffer. Discussion was held on the appropriate commercial zoning designation for the remainder of the parcel. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the C-3 zoning would be appropriate because it would be an extension of the existing commercial land use along Dodge Avenue. Commissioner Fuchs suggested compromising with allowing 140 ft. along the easement parallel to Auburn instead of 100 ft zoned R-2b. Richard Dungan representing Faith Fellowship Church indicated that they would be willing to amend their request of the east 100 ft. to 140 ft. of the affected property as long as this did not delay the process. Staff suggested that Faith Fellowship Church put their acceptance of this compromise in writing. COMMISSIONER MORTON MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE ZONE CHANGE REQUEST BY FAITH FELLOWSHIP FROM PUD TO C-3 AND R-2B, THE EAST 140 FEET OF THE AFFECTED PROPERTY SHALL BE R-2B AND THE BALANCE OF THE AFFECTED PROPERTY SHALL BE C-3. COMMISSIONER SCHROEDER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-1. The Planning Commission felt the zone change request was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the existing uses in this area. Commissioner Eberley disagreed with the C-3 zoning as she felt this was not compatible with the recent mission statement that was created for our land use plan. 6.
