The zoning maps ho the area to be zoned for duplex buildings. I have looked, and'gn�attorney hws ma44 e searches, and nowhere ear: we find any record that formal zoning requirements were ever met or that formal zoning a:.1 ion ever took place. We would ask the Mayor to try to find out once and for all how it happened that there is seemingly nc ordinance tt.lt zoned our area for duplex. But back to the temporary hold on development for North Renton, I would urgently stress that it is sorely needed to avoid panics as as happened in the past. It will save all of un, including you, a lot of headaches if action is taken now. � . lifi,,,Ar r ) ) 1 1 C �,,' ( � i, 4' -E 1 q - �t.- .. � C� i� E'... � .' 1.( t �.` �.._.�.�._! /r�6� C t (r-�`, — i.(' (J / - l 4 1'.1 b`- _ �.L it....)it....) , 1 k T1 4 e- 4 l` -fi., Q UC - _ ovt7. 0 ' 'Renton City Council 7/23/79 Page 2 PUBLIC HEARING - Continued Comprehensive Plan MOTION CARRIED.
