substantial ground to defend this claim. He said the rezoning should have a Public

because it reduces the business zoning in an area that the city has defined as business.
He said it also includes high density zoning against the City Plan. He said he is not in
favor of the transition area as stated in this plan because the term for development is to
short to adequately market the property. He said he strongly disagrees with the statement
in the decree that the highest and best uses of this property is apartment and town houses.
He said this property is a key business area for the cities Economic Development and the
best use for this property is for commercial.
Alderman Sticka asked if the city is omitting a Public Hearing.

required.
