CANNERY APPLICATION: (Lots 4, 5, 6'& 7 in Block 29, Lancaster's Addition to Newport Beach). L. T. Bradbury, representing The Italian Food Prod- ucts Co of Newport Beach, requested issuance of a building permit to construct a galvanized iron warehouse building adjoining the present cannery building. He stated the proposed new structure would be used to store cartons and new cans, etc. and would take the place of the second floor of the old building recently.damaged by fire which they would then remove,-'. In support of his request Mr. Bradbury cited the issuance of a permit to operate a Fish Cannery when they began operations and the expenditure of $28,000.00 during the last forty -five days for fish and labor. Discussion brought out the fact that the city could not prevent the installation of canning machinery in the proposed warehouse building if they allowed the building to be constructed and that the Zoning Ord- inance prohibits fish canning in any part of this City. The canneries now operating here had their permits prior to the adoption of the Ordinance and as zoning laws are not retreactive tIzey can operate until destroyed or cease operation, but that additions to present cannery buildings or new buildings to be used in connection with an existing fish cannery are definitely prohibited by the text and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. Further, that anolications for the reconstruction of nonconforming uses of a type prohibited in some districts, but permitted in others, and in a manner allowed by the ordinance, have been refused on accoun' o fF- e proposed reconstruction covering more land area than the existing non - conforming use. Also, that the expenditure of money by this cannery for fish and labor, cited by %r. Bradbury, can continue even though the ordinance does not permit him to build the structure.under discussion, therefore his use of this expenditure of money as an argument in favor of the application is not pertinent. Motion: Upon motion by Com. L. W. Briggs, seconded by Wff - Palmer and carried, the application was denied.
