have both positive and negative effects. Councilmembers Trent Perez, Greg Hill, Gary Moore, Derrick Reed and Tony Carbone were not in favor of the zone change due to density concerns,
location, and the need for additional multi-family units not favorable for the said location.
P&Z Chairperson Daniel Tunstall, P&Z Vice-Chairperson Thomas Duncan and P&Z Commissioner Derrell Isenberg were not in favor of the zone change due to concerns with the effect on traffic
and parking and the inadequate proposal of the infrastructure.
