PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE: Transient Housing. Jansen said that transient housing should be included in the ordinance as a special use. Schmeiser said that a parking concept needed to be incorporated stating when a use is changed to a use that requires less parking, more parking won't be demanded. There was discussion regarding limiting transient housing to certain zones. Berlin will send a letter to the group currently looking for a transient housing site explaining the Council's position. Oakcrest Street in the Oaknoll property (item 23 and item 24) will remain RS -8 except the one property which will become RM -44. Items 25, 27, and 28 are all properties of the Clarks. Item 25 will be zoned RM -12, item 27 will remain RM -12, and item 28 will remain as originally proposed. Item 29 will be zoned CB -2. There will be no change on item 26. 327 Brown Street will remain as proposed. The AG zone has been changed in the areas complained about in the Bruce Glasgow letter. Glasgow said that he has C-2 zoning in the vicinity of Scott Boulevard and would like to keep it that way. Members indicated that CN -1 zoning would allow for neighborhood convenience stores next to Scott Boulevard. Old Scott Boulevard will revert to one-half coamercial and one-half residential when abandoned by the City. Boothroy summarized the information on the frontage by Bon -Aire Mobile Home Court (item 7). The Council agreed that commercial area would be limited to seven acres.
