Mr. Mack explained the applicant sought a minor amendment to the Future Land Use Map to provide for a medium-high density residential use of the property and for the zoning to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. He said staff recommended approval, and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the amendment. Mayor Portugal opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak about this item, to please come forward. Mike Covington, 1705 40th N.E., spoke in opposition to this amendment because he was concerned about additional traffic on Ruby Way. He said he had signatures of everyone in the neighborhood opposing this amendment except for two people. He said they did not want multi -family dwellings in their neighborhood. With no one else speaking, Mayor Portugal closed the public hearing. Council Member Savage inquired if there were a lot of duplexes in the area. Mr. Covington said in the area he lived there were single dwelling residences. City Attorney Stephanie Harris said with regard to petitions opposing zoning amendments, those must be filed with the City Clerk so that signatures could be verified and percentages of property owners calculated. Council Member Pankaj said the roadway was pretty tight in that area and inquired if Staff had studied that. Mr. Mack said they had looked at options. Council Member Pankaj
