HILLSIDE MODIFYING DISTRICT AND POLICY -- Continued Public hearing closed There being no further conunents, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. City Attorney's opinion Mr. Lindberg said he was asked by some citizens if the Hillside Ordinance would apply to the Sports World P-C zone. He stated that the Council did impose these standards on that development and, whether or not the ordinance passes in this form or not at all, it will not change the ap- plicability of the standards as they existed at the time of the adoption of the P-C General Development Plan. In answer to Councilman Scott's query, Mr. Peterson explained that the condition of approval referred to 2,000 dwelllng units "or such number as may be allowed by Hillside Ordinance, when and if it is adopted."

It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by Councilman Hobel that a tran- script be made, pro and con, and that the matter be continued for three weeks.
