OLD BUSINESS COUNCIL ACTION - PZ-69-121-WILLIAMS & CLEGG Location: Northwest side of Browning Avenue, approximately 290'. southwest of centerline of Nisson Road. The application requested 1500 square feet for each dwelling unit. The commission modified it to 1900 square feet per dwelling unit for R-3 which would authorize 43 units. Proposed development plans were presented to the City Council indicating more than 50% of common open recreational area and requesting an increase in density to permit the construction of 46 units. It was the opinion of the Council that the quality of development was more important than the precise number of units. The Council introduced an ordinance to change the pre- zoning to a Planned Community Development authorizing 46 dwelling units on the 1.89 acre parcel. A draft resolution was introduced .by the Staff which would endorse the modification of PZ-69-121 in the interest of assuring quality construction and preservation of common open space in multi-family developments. PC Minutes - 2/24/70 Mr. Ila].us stated that the density was the main concern and recon~ended the R-3, 1900 square feet per dwelling unit. I{e was in complete agreement with the planned community but did object to a compromise of 1750 square feet not to exceed 46 dwelling units.
