Quin Thompson, Current Planner, read the staff report. Hunter Haynes, Applicant, introduced the project briefly, describing recent revisions intended to address staff concerns. Terry Fallon, Neighbor, said that she was a member of the Hendrix -Maxwell neighborhood association, and said that she objected to the conditional use because it would increase density in the [single-family] neighborhood. She said that she had not been notified, because her property isn't directly adjacent to the subject property, but that she would be affected, and therefore disagrees with the public notification process in this case. She stated that the nearby multi -family zoning had been a clerical error, and that it is not appropriate to base future land -use questions on inappropriate and accidental zoning. She said that each land use decision increases justification for future land use decisions that may further erode the fabric of the neighborhood. Tracy Hoskins, Chair, asked staff if notification signs had been placed on the property. Kyle Cook, Commissioner, said that he opposed the conditional use because he felt that the City should retain RSF-4 zoning as policy. Craig Honchell, Commissioner, said that thought it likely that the notification signs were difficult to see due to ongoing street improvements on Garland Avenue. Kit Williams, City Attorney, commented that a conditional use requires 5 votes to pass, rather than a majority. Porter Winston, Commissioner, said that perhaps the item should be tabled to a future date in order to provide opportunity for re -notification. [legal notification requirements were met] Kyle Cook, Commissioner, asked staff the difference between rezoning and conditional use for this property. Fulcher said that the conditional use provides for limited flexibility in uses without opening up the property for the full uses of another zone. Hoskins, said that higher densities are appropriate along traffic corridors and near the University [of Arkansas]. He said that he would prefer to see a development of a style more in harmony with the neighborhood. Haynes agreed to table and allow the neighbors to attend and express concerns to the Commission.
