Chairman Koeth questioned if anyone had comments or remarks regarding the ordinance. Mr. O'Malley suggested that the Law Director ruled to send this ordinance back to Planning Commission on a technicality. He would like Planning Commission to have a defined motion to either approve or deny the ordinance. Mr. O'Malley reviewed past discussions regarding Planning Commissions duty to uphold the Master Plan. The Master Plan indicates this site should be multiple residence. The request in this ordinance is for single family cluster, which is inconsistent to the Master Plan. Mrs. O'Rourke questioned if the Assistant Law Director was implying that the current ordinance was not consistent with the Master Plan. Mr. O'Malley suggested that in a matter of speaking the request is consistent with a multiple residence classification. This request is less dense then a multiple residence zoning. However, it is a different zoning classification then the Master Plan. Some may say it is a better classification then presented in the master plan. Mr. 5palding questioned if Mr. O'Malley was telling Planning Commission to motion to address the master plan again. Mr. O'Malley answered "No", this zoning classification is contrary to the Master Plan. Mrs. Hoff-Smith felt that the ordinance was within the spirit of the Master Plan. Mr. O'Malley indicated that the Master Plan controls in this instance and that a presentation of something other than that is presented by the Master Plan should result in a disapproval by the Planning Commission. Board members had a lengthy discussion regarding each of their opinions regarding the age of the mater plan. Their role as Planning Commission being the board, which is charged with being the body to change the Cities Zonings and the Master Plan.
