(TRAYNOR-HILL PROPERTIES) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITYWIDE LAND
USE AND TRANSPORTATION STUDY"
Council Member Cobb was sympathetic to both sides of the issue.
On the pro► CS zoning side, he believed the Traynors, more than any
other property owner, felt the burden of down zoning because the
City needed to restrict development and traffic. Secondly,
coherent development of the corner could be positive for the
co unity and could become an economic generator under a CS zoning.
He was not convinced, however, the strip was likely to attract
62-80
8/07/89
positive CS development. The basic difference between CS and CN
zoning related to certain automotive uses. The problems Council
faced in other parts of town involving automotive uses next-door
to residential uses were troublesome and incompatible. Finally,
CS allowed a higher housing density than CN. He had consistently
votes in favor of lower housing densities because too many high
impactive developments already existed, particularly in the same
area of town. He supported a CN zoning on the property.
