Mr. Ketty gave a brief resume of the Agenda Packet report and stated that in accordance with State Planning Law AB 1301) the City is required to make all zoning con- sistent with the General Plan. The proposed zone changes wilt cause some parcels or uses to become legal noncon- forming. An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the General Plan and no further environmental assessment is required. Mr. Ketty said this was the second phase of a four phase plan to rezone the City. The third phase will be code amendments and the forth wilt be to rewrite the entire zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission recommend approval of the changes except for Areas 55, portions of 70 and 71,89 and 96.

She thanked the Planning Commission for deleting this area as down zoning will not help them interest investors. They would prefer Residential Garden Zoning. Mayor White said this area had been withdrawn for further study. 96 Charles Hartman, 932 Leorita Street, said his property at Leorita & Bess is now R-3 which he plans to develop. They would lose on R-1 as the value would go down. He had taken time from work to attend and asked that this be resolved. Mayor White said this area had been withdrawn for further study and that Mr. Hartman would be notified in writing of the decision. GO- 71 William Buys, 3741 Puente Ave., said he was not against the rezoning R-1 to R-3. He did not believe Mr. Stoper was against it either.

Mr. Ketty said this would be a legal non conforming use and there would be no problem. 00- 21 A. Hernandez, 4416 N. Merced, said he objected to change from C-1 to R-3 as he plans to develop in the future. Discussion followed and Mr. Cunningham said this would be more valuable as R-3. Mr. Kelty said the study indicated that this large area would not develop Commercially and R-3 appears to be more compatible. This is adjacent to Commercial. He could meet and discuss this with Mr. Hernandez and possibly this can be considered with the next General Plan changes in May.
