The purpose for the proposed rezone is to ensure consistency between the Comprehensive <br /> Plan map and the zoning map, and to ensure the designation and zone for this property match its <br /> use. <br /> 2. To achieve the desired consistency between the Zoning and Comprehensive Plan maps, the <br /> City needs to change the zone on the north portion of the property from M-2 (Heavy Industrial) <br /> to R-1 (Single Family), see Exhibit A. <br /> 3. City representatives meet with the Port Gardner neighborhood on February 13, 2012 to <br /> discuss this proposal. <br /> 4. Planning Commission held a public meeting to learn of and discuss the proposed change on <br /> November 11, 2011 and held a public hearing on this proposal on March 6, 2012. <br /> 5. On March 6, 2012, Planning Commission passed Resolution 12-11, recommending adoption <br /> of this action by City Council. <br /> 6.

The requested action is supported by, or consistent with, the Comprehensive Plan because <br /> Chapter V of the Land Use element (C) Guide to Decision Making, "All zoning decisions must <br /> by law be consistent with the comprehensive Plan."

There are no erroneous assumptions or new information regarding this action known at the <br /> time this action was taken. (findings 2, 3 and 4) <br /> - 2 - <br />
