and believed that the Polin development should be allowed and concentrate a
good development on a large improved parcel.
Councilman Graves stated he would agree with this rezoning or development of
a shopping center if it were presented as a planned development so that if not
developed, it would remain in its original zoning.
Councilman Miller stated he disagreed with the planned development proposal
as it is just a round -about way of rezoning property and that action taken
by the Planning Commission in the past under the planned development of the
Municipal Code did not insure adequate or timely development.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Whelchel, the following
ordinance was introduced. Ordinance No. 273, an ordinance amending Section

and advertisement, it would take about four (4) months to complete.

such cities as Redwood City, Igountain View and Sra: Raphael, and Redding has
just ordered one.
The fact that no cities have Crown and a Van Pelt. -ustom truck alongside eacr,
other shoul:;. assure that Van Pelt would do a good job in San Luis Obispo.

to the most rigid specifications and his company would meet any and all requ.:-.

the Crown Coach fire truck and hoped that the Council would accept that bi:.
but also that he and his staff would be happy tc, work with the Van Pelt tr:.
if the Council accepted that bid.
