Chair: Just kind of enlighten me a little bit,prior to the request for a boundary adjustment this property was zoned for... Staff. It is split zoned, you have a mixture of residential R-2 and Open so I think as I noted in the staff report the land area of one of the lots increases from a half acre to one acre in size. Chair: So you will have split use then in terms of the zoning. Staff. Split zoning. I think the Open zone reflects some of the constraints on the property.
