Motion /Second: Forslund /Doty to deny the rezoning and conditional use permit request Case No. 104 -82 submitted by Gregory A. Johnson for the following reasons: The members of the Council are all personally familiar with the property in question and the surrounding neighborhood and the fact that this property abutts Highway 10; That surrounding property owners had purchased their properties in reliance on the present resi- dential zoning of the subject property; That if the property were rezoned as requested it would be difficult and expensive to police the use of the property, including business hours, lighting, noise, and air pollution problems, storage and housekeeping; That previous zoning requests for the subject property and other neighboring properties have been heard and denied by the City; That the Comprehensive Plan which has been prepared and adopted by the City after years of study, and at great expense to the taxpayers, designates the subject property as medium density residential and that the Council agrees with maintaining that classification and wants the subject property to remain consistent with said Comprehensive Plan; That the Council finds that the public health, safety, and welfare would be adversely affected by the granting of the request because of the adverse effect it would have on the residential property values of the abutting properties presently being used as residential; That the applicant has not shown what impact, if any, the use would have on traffic and the environment;
