Planning Commission Report Mr. Bennett presented the Planning Commission Report in Mr. Humphreys absence.

Approved a request by Elden Smith for tentative subdivision of a 1.1 acre parcel into six tax lots adjacent to and east of the house at 764 Pittview Avenue. The property is located in the R-1-8 Residential Single-Family zoning district. The Commission approved this infill project contingent upon staff recommendations which included, but were not limited to; deferred improvements on Pittview Avenue; the construction of a new residential lane with a modified driveway throat, sidewalks and hammerhead; the reasonable extension of public and private utilities; and pedestrian access easements which would link the subdivision to future parkland development. 2. Conditionally approved a site plan and conditional use permit submitted byAlbertsons, Inc. to construct a gas station, convenience store and automated car wash in the Mountain View Plaza Shopping Center in the C-4, Tourist and Professional zoning district. These activities were originally contemplated but not included in the shopping center site plan application and therefore were subject to separate review. Conditional approval was given based upon Ciry staff recommendations including, but not limited to; the submission and approval of lighting, landscaping and circulation plans; compatible building design; satisfactory storm water discharge and specific hours of operation for both the car wash and the service station. 3. Recommended that the City Council withdraw the Busby/Malot property (3.00 acres) from Jackson County Fire Protection District No. 3 following its annexation to the City of Central Point. 4. Recommended that the Ciry Council withdraw the Hull property (2.3 acres) from Jackson County Fire Protection District No. 3 following its annexation to the City of Central Point.
