The Director of Planning stated that the applicant's request for rezoning was reasonable, in that the two lots to be rezoned were larger by 1,400 square feet than the minimum square footage required and therefore the density as designated in the General Plan would not be exceeded; and that 12 of the 16 existing lots having frontage on Stanford Street were zoned R 2 with 10 of them having existing duplexes. The Clerk reported no written communications had been received. Mr. William H.
