February 19, 2003. Staff supports passage of this resolution.
4)Re-zone hearing for the Sherwood Hills and surrounding area from LDR1 to LDR, which
will essentially have the effect of prohibiting any future apartments within the area. There
are a number of apartments that have been recently approved, and one that is in the works.
Staff feels that the re-zone is appropriate; the apartment requests that are in the process
should be given normal consideration.

two sides by student apartments and the requesting party lives on the third side. Staff

6)Re-zone from Light Industrial to HBD at 485 North 2 East. This is the old Tri-County
property, the request is to facilitate development that is contemplated. The recommendation
