H-1 Pastor Larry Cross, 415 14th Street N.W., representing the Resur-

,Council on a previously -denied zone change on a Planned Unit Develop
ment. The Council agreed to hear Pastor Cross even though there
could be no action taken for a one-year period of time.
Pastor Cross explained that it was his understanding that the PUD
was denied because of the 4 percent usage of the project. He felt
that the Council had not fully discussed the merits of whether or
not the buyer for the property was suitable and was not given an
opportunity for change or negotiations for the application project.
Pastor Cross stated that he understood that the motion made by the
Council was unclear; the motion was denied and sent back to the
Planning Commission for a study on church land use and to be brought
back to the Council within 60 days.
