directed staff to forward the petition to the City Council and tabled action on the rezoning to E -1 Employment District. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon further advised the City Council reviewed the citizen petition at their June 10, 2003 work session. After discussion regarding the subject, the City Council gave Staff direction to draft a comprehensive plan amendment to change the residential properties from Places to Work to Low Density residential. He indicated some of the reasons the City Council gave in favor of changing the designation back to Low Density Residential was that there was not any pending plans to redevelop the neighborhood and the fact that the Employment Zoning District designation will make the residential units non - conforming uses and cause problems for residents with their mortgage companies. Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the seven lots on Rivlyn Avenue from Places to Work to Low Density Residential. Public Hearing Margaret DeVore, 6166 Rivlyn indicated this is a block and a half long, with children playing. She asked what low density residential means.
