Keelson <br />Mr. Jim Bonham, 5310 W. Keelson <br /> <br />Opposition was based on the fact that the property has been considered for <br />variance or rezoning on several previous occasions; that the Master Plan <br />shows this area as R 1; that applications for R 2 and R 4 zoning have been <br />denied in the past; that the neighborhood would like to have the site developed, <br />but would prefer a variance so it could be controlled. <br /> <br />The Director of Planning stated that a map has already been approved for the <br />area; that there will be 10 lots, with 20 units; that R 2 zoning requires 3,000 <br />square feet of lot area per dwelling unit, but does not limit the number of <br />stories; however, there is a 35' height limit. <br /> <br />There were no further proponents or opponents, and the Mayor declared the <br />public hearing closed. <br /> <br />Councilman Yamamoto spoke against the zone change, stating that he is opposed <br />to any development allowing higher density in this area.
