RESOLUTIONS
The property under consideration is located in an R -2 zone and the
petition requests the change of zoning to C -1 -H.
Amendment #16
The Commission discussed the problem that might be created in this
proposed Amendment, namely, establishing a precedent of re- zioning
more residential property to Commercial Zones. Because State
Hwy. 101 cuts diagonally across Corona del Mai there are some lots
now zoned Residential which are adjacent to Commercial lots. Most
Approved.
of these residential lots are in single ownership.
The residential lots involved in the application are in one owner-
ship and would be incorporated as a part of an off - street shopping
center under C -1 -H zoning.
Com. Longmoor contended that there was little danger of creating
a precedent because very few, if any, other residential Hots could
qualify for C -1 -H zoning and that off - street shopping center 8f
this size and amount of off - street parking proposed in this case
should be encouraged rather than stop commercial properties.
Com. Copelin contended that proposed Buibdings should be con-
fined to the area now under C -1H zone and use said residential
Lots for pa ;king purposes as now permitted under an existing
Use Permit.
After further discussion of problems evolved, a motion was made
by Com. Reed, seconded by Com. Keene to recommend approval.
On Roll Call - all AYES except that Com. Copelin qualified his
"yes" with following statement - "I believe the location of the
building should be changed to conform with the Ordinance rather
than the Ordinance be changed to conform with the building loca-
tion which necessitates re- zoning R -2 lots to C -1H."
