Comprehensive Plan Amendment: Future Land Use Map <br />(Clifford Adkins property) <br />Attorney Paul Wolff, repesenting Ciff Adkins, explained Mr. Adkin's is <br />opposed to any amendment to the Future Land Use map and requests the <br />City leave this property in the SRD zoning district. The parcel is <br />approx. 12 acres and is surrounded by three sides of SRD, all of which <br />is currently in Rl zoning. The RED Zoning district requires a minimum <br />of 20 acres for an RE development, but this is only 1.2 acres and does <br />not qualify for RED zoning. Wolff indicated this is the only property <br />in the City within the SRD district which is not already zoned R1. <br />Mayor Johnson and Councilman Mottaz supported the Planning <br />Commission's recommendation of March 11, 1991 that Mr. Adkins' land <br />stay SRD as designated on the Future Land Use Map. <br />
