CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Ah Mau 91 107n COMMISSIONERS d� The applicant was present at the meeting and stated that since filing this application she had married and her name now was Ann Dobson Schmitz. She presented petitions from neighbors in Lido Sands who supported her request for a 0' setback on Jo Anne Way, and stated further that this same condition now exists on three corner lots. Mr..Mike Johnson,.the owner of one of these corner lots spoke in favor of the application. ! The Commission had a lengthy discussion re- garding Mrs. Schmitz request and felt that she did not.have a hardship and that the problem could be resolved in another manner:. However, the Commission did express an opinion that the entire tract should be zoned R -1, the manner in which it is developed, rather than C -1 -H. At the time of a zone change, a change in set- backs could also be requested, however,.the Commission did not commit themselves to approval of a 0' setback on Jo Anne Way., The Commission suggested that Mrs. Schmitz contact the Community Association and their representatives, as well as other property .owners.in the area, to determine if they would be in favor of a zone change to R -1. The City had initiated a rezoning petition in July of 1961 and after conducting two public- hearings, took no action due to the'protests`of -the resi- dents in the tract.

Second x All Aye Planning Director Wilson reminded the Commis- sion of the League of California Cities Insti- tute for Planning Commissioners at the Disney] nd Hotel, Anaheim, June 3 - 5 and said he hoped a many as possible would attend as much as.possi le of the sessions. Mr. Wilson is one of the Committee that has been putting the conference together and is chairman of a group which is supposed to organize discussion leaders, etc., for the breakfast session on June 4 and would like to know if any of the Commissioners are interested. The Committee would very.much like full participation by Planning Commission rs and not make this a production by Planning Directors, Consultants, City Managers, etc. Mr. Wilson asked that the Commissioners let him know as soon as possible if they are able to attend any of the luncheon sessions. Commissioner Glass suggested that perhaps more Commissioners could attend these workshops if . they were held on week ends instead of during the week and Planning Director Wilson said he would apprise the Committee of this recommends tion. Due to this conference being on a Planning Com- mission meeting date, the Commission decided n t to have a study session on June 4, 1970 but, instead, to have one on June 2, 1970 at 3:00 P.M. The Planning Commission meeting will be held at 8:00 P.M. on June 4, 1970 as scheduled. ****** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** On motion of Commissioner Watson, seconded by Commissioner Glass, and carried, the meeting was adjourned to June 4, 1970 at 8:00 P.M. in the City Council Chambers.
