SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Wayne Avery called the regular meeting of the City Planning
Commission to order on Monday, July 9, 2012, at 5:30 PM in the Chambers Room
on the third floor of the City & County Government Center. Members present
were Hal Bailey, Mike Cameron, Donna DeKraai, Greg Fargen, Alan Gregg, Al
Heuton , and Avery. John Sydow was absent. Also present were Bill Purrington,
Dave Odens, Becky Meyer, Brent Mathiason, Mark Konoski, Tony Lanning, Jim
Welch, Jim Weiss, Community Development Director Mike Struck, City Engineer
Jackie Lanning, Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson and others.
Item #4- Bill Purrington, 1423 1st Street, supported the rezoning. He felt the
change was appropriate since the neighborhood was near Hillcrest School. It
would be good for young families. He argued that the current zoning that
allowed duplexes by right could lead to an increase in congestion in the streets
because lot sizes were smaller. Dave Odens, 1432 Legeros Drive, also supported
the rezoning. He noted that the neighborhood was predominantly single-family
and should be preserved.
Becky Meyer, 1602 Olwien Street, opposed the rezoning. She felt that
young families needed supplemental incomes and converting their homes into
two-family dwellings was an option. She added that on-street parking could
become congested with single-family homes too. She did not think the
community offered enough decent housing now.
Brent Mathiason, 208 Legeros Drive, supported the rezoning. His neighbors
were renters already and more conversions could lead to future parking issues.
Mark Konoski, a resident, felt the neighborhood was quiet now but could
deteriorate if left in the R-2 district. Tony Lanning, 1329 First Street, supported the
rezoning. He had seen a change over the 20 years he lived at this address and
felt more conversions would be detrimental.
Jim Welch, 1412 2nd Street, remarked that his residence was in the first
area that was zoned to R-1C. He felt it devalued his property and was opposed
to the rezoning.

Heuton stated that the research on the history of the neighborhood made
it clear to him that it functions well as a single-family area. He noted that 93% of
the houses were still used as single-family dwellings after 50 years or more. He
also felt the R-1C would lead to less on-street parking.
Item #3e – Heuton asked if future access to 20th Street S o. would be restricted.
Hanson responded that the land was zoned for business and access could be
controlled at the time of platting.
Item #3f – Jim Weiss, SDSU Facilities Department, stated the replat would create
frontage onto 8th Street for each lot. Heuton asked how future access would be
provided. Weiss replied that a mutual access drive would be installed.
Item #5 – Hanson commented that the omission of the term “leasing” in the
automobile sales definition was likely an oversight. Most auto sales lots also
lease vehicles as an accessory use.
The meeting was adjourned.
