by R-L zoning. Staff did coniira that R-L <br /> zoning did conform to this property. Your <br /> Planning Commission met on January 1 to <br /> consider our application. At this seating <br /> there was such concern by the neighborhood <br /> about the project. At this meeting we did <br /> state that we would consider A-R zoning. The <br /> Archdioceue of Denver is not in the business <br /> of selling real estate. This site is for a <br /> school/church. We need to borrow money for <br /> this project and the appraised value of this <br /> project depends on the zoning. The church <br /> will except an R-E zone with the waiver of <br /> the open space dedication and cash in '.ieu of <br /> requirement. The church hopes that this <br /> Council will consider our request. <br /> Mayor Feuson opened the public hearing and <br /> asked if anyone was present that wished to <br /> speak to this Ordinance. <br /> Norbert Meier, 234 Short Place.

A <br /> portion of the property to the south is at a <br /> lower density than R-L now, and farther south <br /> and west we have existing R-R zoning.

In the Comprehensive Plan there <br /> exists a section that refers to the estab- <br /> lishmont of neighborhoods that allow for a <br /> diversity in housing, size, cost and density, <br /> further supporting the idea that just because <br /> a certain portion of the property surrounding <br /> 6 <br />
