She stated at Mr. Raudio's request, Staff did some <br />research as to when the property was actually rezoned from commercial to medium density <br />residential. She indicated the last time there was official action on the property was in 1993 <br />when a portion of River's Bend 3~a Addition was rezoned from commercial to single family <br />residential, but this parcel remained zoned as commercial. She advised Staff found a zoning map <br />from 1998 in which the property was shown as medium density residential. She indicated it is <br />Staff's belief that somewhere along the line an error occurred and the subject parcel was colored <br />as medium density residential on the City's zoning map. She stated it would have been difficult <br />to recognize the error as the two vacant parcels north of Mr. Raudio's parcel are also zoned <br />medium density residential. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik stated even though it appears that the parcel's current <br />designation started as a technical error on the zoning map, it was shown as Medium Density <br /> <br />Planning Commission/September 2, 2004 <br /> Page 5 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
