3.B. Public Hearing to amend future land use map Lots 7-8 Block 99 C2 to R3. 
Discussion:
 Opened the Public Hearing at 7:03 p.m. to discuss amending future land use map on Lots 7-8 Block 99 C2 to R3. City Administrator Tom Ourada explained that this was a request to change zoning. Ourada explained that first is amending the zoning map and then the zoning change. Ourada stated that the City recommends amending the future land use map. Planning Commission member Scott Kuncl asked why that is recommended. Ourada explained that it is common to amend and that it is a dynamic document. Ourada expanded that this is not island zoning or spot zoning. This is also consistent with 2014 and the new comprehensive plan. 
Planning Commission member Jennifer Robinson asked how it is inconsistent and Ourada explained that it is currently C2, and it would be going to R3. 
Ourada explained that the new zoning would affect this action and if they are looking to build 8 units and a variance would be needed as it stands, since the number of units is the issue they can currently do 5 1/2 units. 2 parking spots are needed per living unit. City of Crete Building Inspector Brad Bailey stated that he looked at parking before the application was turned in.
