457 base to help defray the cost of water and sewer. Residents who supported the residential use of property were interested in maintaining the area like it had developed thus far, were concerned about nonresidential traffic, and felt improperly located businesses would reduce property values. Ail attendees were invited to send written comments to staff to provide more input. Over 25 letters were received and all of them expressed the writer's wishes to have the long range plan continue to indicate medium and low density residential uses for the area. No written comments were received advocating a change to the land use plan. Based on the input of the meeting, the written comments received and the existing infrastructure the staff is recommending that this area plan not be changed. The current medium and low density residential zoning permits a number of nonresidential uses. These include home occupations and rural home occupations which permit property owners to begin and run businesses on the property on which they live. The zoning also permits other businesses and services often found in rural areas. To answer the questions of availability and affordability the staff will continue to review the zoning pattern for larger area.
