Member Walker asked if the facia was going to be all the way around the building at the Campus West Texaco. Was it in the plan and did they have to condition the approval on that also. Mr. Olt replied that the facade would continue along the south and the north sides of the buildings and tie into the existing portion and just continue to the back corners of the south and north sides.

Member Strom seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. RICHMOND ASSOCIATES OFFICE R H ZONE REQUEST, #46 9 Ted Shepard gave the staff report recommending approval. Don Richmond, Richmond Associates, stated he had lived in the property for 2-1/2 years. He stated because of the West Side Rezoning he had to go through an R-H zone request. He stated he had done some improvements on the property and those were discussed in the plan. He stated most of his neighbors supported the business use in the neighborhood. He had unanimous support with the type of use he was asking for approval on. He stated the plan addresses the issues that needed to be addressed and would welcome any questions. Susan Hooley, 1223 S. Sherwood Street asked for clarification of what an R-H Zone was and if rezoning would affect just that piece of property on the block or if it would apply to any other property on the block. Mr. Shepard replied this property was not being rezoned. The underlying zoning would remain R-H, there were no properties on the block or in the R-H zone that were changing their zoning. This was a request for a non-residential use in the R-H zone by special review. That special review was a site plan review that was brought to the Planning and Zoning Board through the public hearing process so the impacts of that special use could be reviewed in a public format. It is merely a review procedure that gets public attention and was not a rezoning. Dan George, 425 West Mountain, stated that he was aware of Mr. Richmonds's planned use and some of that would involve an improved alley that borders on their two properties. The alley had been in use since about 1943 and from what he understands, Mr. Richmond will improve it, which he was in favor of since it has been an access for all the property owners since 1943. Tt has been in good use and maintained well and to have an improvement to allow vehicle access would be welcomed. He was willing to work with Mr. Richmond as far as upkeep. Member Walker moved for approval of Richmond and Associates R-H Zone Request. Member Cottier seconded the motion. Member O'Dell noted for the record that even though this did not conform to what had been set out in the West Side Neighborhood Plan, the staff had done a good job and the applicant had done a good job in keeping this as a residential looking unit even though it was going to be a business and she believed that the plan wants to keep this looking like a residential unit and she thought that had been accomplished at this point. Motion was approved 7-0. 203 West Mulberry PUD - Amsmted Final. #41-90E Sherry Albertson Clark gave the staff report recommending approval subject to a condition regarding some additional landscaping on the site plan. Mr. Jerry King, stated that they had recently received approval on the front portion of their property and they had done the same things to the rear part of the property with respect to landscaping and irrigation. They had a hedge that was dying and they had revived it and planted all the way around so you can see into the property, but the hedge was headlight height to automobiles so you cannot see what is on the property except for the hoods and roofs of the cars. He stated what they were worried about on the front of the property was when they
