Associate Planner Robert Su_ndstrom highlighted the salient points in the reports dated May 23 and May 24, 1979, prepared by the Planning Department.

Using slide transparencies, he described the five zoning alternatives developed in response to the requests of property owners and residents of the Logan neighborhood, the area generally bounded by the Santa Aha Freeway on the north, Santa Aha Boulevard on the south, Lincoln Avenue on the east and Santiago Boulevard on the west, and summmrized the staff evaluation of each. The five alternatives were listed as follows: Alternative I - No Rezoning or General Plan Amendment - No change in existing M2 zoning (or permitted uses contained therein). Alternative II - Rezoning and General Plan Amenclment - Rezone select parcels to the R2 and C2 Districts; amend General Plan to Mediun Density Residential and Conummity Shopping Centers designations corresponding to zoning pattern. Alternative III - Modified Residential/Commercial/Industrial Zoning - Rezone properties from the M2 District to the Mi-S, R2-S and C2 Districts based on existing use of property; modify zoning regulations for the Mi and R2 Districts, creating an R2-S and Mi-S zoning district for the Logan Neighborhood (R2-S-Multiple Family Residence-Special, and Mi-S-Light Industrial-Special); R2-S Special zoning regulations would provide less restrictive standards for off-street parking, yard setbacks and unit density; M1-S Special zoning provisions provide for buffer requirements between industrial to residential and permit residential uses permitted in R2-S zone; amend General Plan to Medium Density Residential and Community Shopping Centers corresponding to zoning pattern. Alternative IV - Mixed Use Zone - Creation of a new RM '%{ixed Use-Special" Zone for specific application to the Logan neighborhood; development of regulations similar to Alternative II, R2-S and M1-S Districts; development of design/ land use manual; creation of neighborhood planning committee to review and make reconm~ndations on all building permits. Alternative V - Mixed Use Zone - Creation of a new RM '~ixed Use-Special" Zone for specific application to the Logan neighborhood; permitted uses would be all uses permitted in the R2 and M2 District; RM si~e plan review required for all development within the area (processing similar to C5 site plan review); development or redevelopment with similar permitted uses to that existing on the property or of contiguous parcels through RM site plan review process; development or use of a parcel inconsistOnt with the uses on contiguous parcels would require approved Conditional Use Permit; all residential development would conform to the requirements of the R2 or more restrictive residential district; specific development standards for conflicting uses to be established.
