Regular Council Meeting September 23, 2019 Page 5 SAVINGS CLAUSE, A PENALTY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Ms. Easton said this lot was currently zoned Agricultural and the change requested was to a Two -Family Dwelling District for the purpose of constructing a duplex. Ms. Easton also said the future land use plan called for this lot to be Low Density Residential and the properties on the north side of Pine Mill Road were currently used for single-family residential. Ms. Easton said the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the zoning request by a 3-2 vote, and that staff recommended denial of the zoning change request. Mayor Clifford opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak in support or opposition of this zoning change request, to please come forward. James Martinez, 820 -42nd S.E., spoke in support of the zoning change and said that a duplex fit in better than a single residence, because there were duplexes across the street. With no one else speaking, Mayor Clifford closed the public hearing. Mayor Clifford said he had driven by this lot, and there were duplexes across the street and he was in favor of the zoning change. Council Member Knox said she had also driven by and she thought this was appropriate for the lot. Council Members Portugal, Stone and Hughes favored the zoning change. A Motion to approve the zoning change was made by Council Member Portugal and seconded by Mayor Clifford. Motion carried, 6 ayes — 0 nays. 13.
