-2-
lending agency on the proposed sale. The following persons spoke against the
rezoning: Dr. Bill,Lane, Dr. Leone, Dr. Ray Nizibian, Dr. Vince Gillis,'and
Betty Lewis. Reasons given by the opposition to the rezoning were.: that four
houses.on this'corner lot would cause'vandalism at the-Vrofessional buildings;
this is a premature action because the new use of" 1cres- t.Hospital has not
been determined (the hospital functions will soon move to the new site on the
other side of town); and there is a need for office space in the west end of
town. There being no further written or oral comments to come before the
Council, the hearing-was closed. Planning Director Tteitas made the following
observations: either Office Commercial or Residential zoning on this property e
is consistent with the Environmental Design Plan. There are approximately
-forty thousand square feet of vacant office space in-the area. From a planning
point of view, it is good to have office space-dispersed the town.
