Meet Tuesday

Committee of 8 to mull R1 rule

SUNNYSIDE (Monday, 11-1-99)--A committee of eight has been formed to study a new R1 zone proposal, officials have announced.
Members include councilmen Mike Farmer, Chad Werkhoven, and Errol Brown, plus citizens Martin Campbell, Jo Moore and Manuel Ledesma, plus realtor Kenny Nelson and banker Greg Visser.

The first meeting is set for 7 a.m tomorrow.

The city voted 3-2 after a public hearing last Monday to form the select committee to study a new R1 zone proposal which has created a stir in recent weeks.

Current law requires new houses built on empty lots in existing R1 neighborhoods to contain 100% of the living space of the average square footage of existing homes within 500 feet, OR at least 1300 square feet of living space, whichever is greater. Living space excludes attached garages, etc.

The proposed law would simply insert 90% in place of the 100%. The Planning Commission earlier recommended the Council approve the measure.
