Planning Director Andrew Mack explained Austin Sugg had requested a minor Comprehensive Plan amendment for a single vacant lot. He said changing of a single lot was not consistent with sound land use planning practice and should be denied, unless changes were made to the larger area. Mr. Mack also said if the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council were amenable to making changes to the FLUM guiding future residential development, then staff would initiate these changes and referenced the proposed FLUM changes in their agenda packet. Mr. Mack said staff recommended approval of this request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Commercial to Low Density Residential on the basis that the City was initiating a larger area change to the FLUM, based upon the current and future uses of this two block area along S.E. 3rd Street. Mayor Portugal opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak about this item to please come forward. With no one speaking, Mayor Portugal closed the public hearing. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Pankaj and seconded by Council Member Savage. Motion carried 7 ayes — 0 nays. 22.
