City Planner Rangel explained that the owner of prop- erty at 13921 Francisquito has initiated the request to delete the proposed realignment of these streets. The proposed streets were intended to provide improved freeway access. It now appears that funds will not be available to acquire additional right-of-way and to build the proposed streets and freeway on-ramps and off-ramps. Staff is recommending deletion of the proposed streets and ramps since their designation in the Circulation Element prevents or hinders new development in the immediate vicinity. Mayor pro tern McNeill declared the Public Hearing open on AGP-83 and invited those wishing to speak on this subject to come forward. Eli Rocha, 14637 California Avenue, asked what was involved in the proposed realignment, who will pay, can this be paid for with Gas Tax monies and did the City initiate this. In response to Mr. Roca's questions staff responded that nothing is involved in the realignments, they will be left as they are. Cal Trans would be responsible to pay for the freeway proposals. Gas Tax monies will not be allocated for freeway ramps. The City did not initiate this, it is part of the Sierra Vista project plan and is for needed circula- tion improvement. Mayor pro tern McNeill declared the Public Hearing closed. It was moved and seconded to approve Resolution No. 88-55, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CIRCU- LATION ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN CASE NO.

City Planner Rangel introduced the Public Hearing on AZC-119, The intent of the City Council to consider a request to amend Chapter 17.24 of the Baldwin Park Zoning Code to include machine shops, metal manufac- turing, welding shops and other appropriate uses, as uses permitted in the CM, Commercial Manufacturing zone pursuant to Section 17,24.020 of the City Code". City Planner Rangel explained that this request was initiated by the applicant, Barry Flam, because of the consequences that resulted from the zone changes and zoning code amendments that were made in conjunc- tion with the Sierra Vista Redevelopment Project. Staff feels that the requested uses, except for wrought iron fenceing uses, would be compatible within the CM zone and should not require a conditional use permit. Approval of this request would allow a broader range of uses within existing manufacturing buildings within the FC zone until properties are redeveloped with commercial or office developments.

He spoke against the money that will fund the Code Enforcement Program and stated that the Senior Citi- zens' Center should be a first priority. He felt that priorities need to be changed. Anthony Bejarano, 3508 Big Dalton, asked about the funding for Code Enforcement and how the $60,000 will be used for the Central Business District. Staff explained that the money allocated for Code enforcement will only fund a portion of the program and it will not expand Code Enforcement. The funds for the Central Business District will institute a commercial facade program in a certain area and will allow private property to be improved.
