Stated that it consisted of 13.25 acres, including Holy Cross Complex ( 1 dwelling unit and storage spaces), and approximately eleven residential buildings. Currently zoned R-6 Residential. Wooden stated that the proposed rezoning would be R-15, and the allowable uses would be single-family and du- plexes on minimum 15,000 square foot lots. Wooden pointed out that this area had previously been zoned R-15 by the County until it was annexed to the City in March of 1968. Wooden stated that the 1966 Master Plan re-designated Oklahoma Flats for residential, medium density or PUD-type zoning. Also allowed for acquisition of the Holy Cross area. Under the newly proposed Land Use Plan, the area would be single-family residential, with emphasis on preserving the river. STaff comments from Wooden included: (1) felt an ori- ginal error was made in the 1966 Plan - internal charac- teristics make it unsuitable for high or medium density; (2) access and circulation are poor; (3) conditions have significantly changed - goals, objectives, and policies - as relates to community's desire to curb and control growth, reduce density, and to lessen the impact on the environment. G. Mansfield, resident of Oklahoma Flats, stated that the area could not stand the heavy traffic caused by duplexes. R. Lavagnino and Volke in favor of PUD plan - the less development the better. Wooden stated that a letter had been submitted by R. Lavagnino in support of the R-15 rezoning. Chairman Adams read a letter submitted by Richard Holmes opposing the rezoning. Hans Gramiger was present along with Mrs. Ho~mes to voice opposition to the rezoning. Chairman Adams raised the question, if the land owners got together to form a PUD plan, what would be the position of the Planning Office on density. Wooden stated that he could not recommend anything less than R-15. Vidal pointed out that under a PUD plan, circulation, etc.. could be handled. As there was no further discussion, Chairman Adams closed the public hearing.
