Staff report by Rick Gomez, City Planner. Mayor '~ikels opened the meeting for public input. There being no response, the open meeting was closed. Mr. Buquet stated he brought this up at the time of the Development Code hearings. His concern was while there was housing on the northeast portion that is presently under consideration for R-3, he felt there would be some problems with an R-3 designation in there because there would be an incompatible use up against single family housing. Another problem is there would be general industrial backed up against that. He felt Council should look at an Industrial Park designation. That it would be more aesthetically blending with the neighborhood rather than a general industrial designation and would also protect the houses already there since it would be a long time before this would be developed. He favored Option 2. ACTION: Council concurred that this should go to the Planning Commission for public hearings with Alternative 2 being their preference and to come back to the Council for final approval. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORTS Mr. Dougherty stated he had nothing to report. There was no business, 8.
