[OldNorth] R-2CD zoning district

[John Lofland]

Andy,

Here is the URL you request.

http://www.city.davis.ca.us/meetings/councilpackets/20031209/06_R-2CD_Zoning_District.pdf

Any characterization of the Council meeting on the relevant matters 
ought to come, I think, from one or more members of the ONNA Board. 
It is now being shown on TV time and time again.

  I have a tape of it if anyone would  like to borrow it and 
characterize what happened.

Thanks.

John
