REPORT - REDESIGNATION OF Director of Planning Peterson reported that when PROPERTIES ZONED R-3-B the R-3-B zoning categories were eliminated in 1969 and replaced with newer R-3 District regula- tions, two areas received a density increase: 1. The area between First Avenue and Hilltop Drive, south of Quintard which is now approximately 80% developed and does not warrant a rezoning. 2. The area north of Bonita Road, east of Hilltop Drive (14 acres) which Mr. Peterson recommended be rezoned from R-3-G-D-F to R-3-P (15). "P" and "H" Zone for area In answer to Council's question, Mr. Peterson east of Hilltop Drive and explained that "P" would indicate the plan must north of Bonita Road come before the Council and Planning Commission for review. The "H" category would reduce the density below what it was in 1969 before it was rezoned to the present category.
