The property immediately adjacent to the south reflects an established development pattern of rural residential housing. The larger property to the north is out of the city limits,but also reflects a present land use pattern for residential uses. 7.

Any change from pattern would consititute a major departure from the City's current policy for land use in this area and would require an extensive re- examination of its Comprehensive Plan and a subsequent amendment thereto. Without such an initiative, this would in fact be considered spot zoning. 8.
