I don't know that there is too many people out here that haven't been here before, but at this point I do need to just kind of give you a brief description of what~we are going to do here this evening. Basically, I will open a hearing, at which time staff will, then., give a brief explanation of the project. After that point we will ask the applicant to come up and respond to those comments and give any other comments they would like to in regard to their project. They have a ten minute time frame to do such. After that there are sign-up sheets in the back. If you have signed up to speak, we will call you one at a time, whoever is signed up. After we have gone through that list I will ask if there is anyone else that would like to speak and you will be more than welcome to come up and do so. You guys will have three minutes to make your comments and at that point, after all that testimony has been given., then, the applicant will have a chance to come back up and rebut anything that was discussed before that. It's pretty simple and we will get going here.

Goddard Creek Road and north of McMillan Road: Moe: So, I now would like to reopen the continued Public Hearing for RZ 07-020 for the -- for a request to rezone of 10.1 acres from R-4 to R-40 zoned district for Selway Apartments and start with the staff report, please. Parsons: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. The application before you tonight is a request to rezone of ten acres from R-4, medium low density residential, to R-40 high density residential. The site is located on the west side of North Goddard Creek Way, approximately 500 feet north of West McMillan Road and a quarter mile east North Ten Mile Road. Directly north of the site are single family homes, zoned R-4. To the east are single family homes, zoned R-4. To the south is vacant land approved for future commercial development, zoned R-4. And to the west are single family homes, zoned R-8. As part of the Lochsa Falls planned development approval in 2002, this area was conceptually approved fora 171 multi-family unit development as a use exception.. It is important to note the City Council approved the Selway Apartments CUP for the site on December 18th, 2007. The site is currently -- the site is currently designated high density residential on the city's Comprehensive Plan land use map and zoned R-4. The applicant's request would bring the site into conformance with the city's future land use map and conform more closely to the previously approved density for the site at 17 dwelling units to the acre. Staff is recommending approval of the requested rezone and with. that I stand for any questions.
