The request was for a change in zone from MR Manufacturing Research to MHS Mobile Home Subdivision. All of your property, except the 60 X 208 parcel that has KORE's broadcast studio, was included in Ordinance #4962. I reviewed the COChran, Hiatt and Hiatt file to determine if the original request, or any subsequent modifications, included your property. I could find no evidence, either in the application, staff report or pUblic hearing notice that your property was ever included, or intended to be ,included, with this request. I have discussed this situation with the City Attorney and he has advised me that the City should initiate an amendment to this Ordinance mOdifying the legal description to correctly identify the boundaries of the Cochran, Hiatt and Hiatt zone change request. This amendment would result in a corresponding change in the zoning status of your property from LDR Low Density Residential to LMI Light Medium Industrial. This change would occur only in our records because the County' Assessor currently shows your property as having a Medium Industrial zoning classification. '" Although your prt'D~rty,will retain LMI zoning, this zoning classification is not consistent with t\ ~roperty's Metropolitan Area General Plan designation of Low Density Residentia\ ~ Any development of this property must conform to this designation. A prop, i~ for an industrial use, even though the property is zoned LMI, cannot be consioe"ed at this time. There is a possibility that your property could be considered for an alternate Plan designation. This could occur during the Metro Plan update process or through the adoption of a refinement plan. The Metro Plan update is scheduled for 1990-91. A refinement plan for this area will prObably begin the first part of 1989 and conclude 6 to 8 monthS later. Either of these activities would provide you with ,the opportunity to present findings in support of a Plan designation Change for your property. 225 Fifth Street . Springfield, OR 97477 · 503/726-3753 - - If you have any questions about the development status of your property please contact me at your convenience. Cordially, ~ ;3. \M6\~ ~.
