PUBLIC HEARING - At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the final adoption of Ordinance No. 91 (1958 Series). An Ordin- ance-.Rezoning Portions of the Ingleside Homestead Tract and the Murray and Church addition from R -2 to R -3. There being no fUrther protests, the hearing was closed and the ordinance finally passed on motion of Kenneth W. Jones, seconded by Richard G. Sleight on the following roll call vote: AYES: Nels Beck, Kenneth W. Jones, Richard G. Sleight, J. Barry Smith, Fred H. Lucksinger NOES: None 4 OCT 2 o- 19.58 ABSENT: None PUBLIC HEARING - At.this time the City Council-held a public hearing on Resolution No. 426 (1958 Series), a Resolution Propozing- Rezon- ing of Property at Foothill Boulevard.an d Carpenter Streets. Mr. Fraser, City Planning Director reported to the City Council on the meetings held by the Planning Commission.regarding• the re- zoning of'this area which was denied by the Commission. Mr. Peter Andre,'Attorney representing Jack Farris and Lloyd Villa urged that the City Council change the zoning as per the request of the petitioners. Further, Mr. Andre stated that the area requested to be rezoned to R -3 is directly across the street from R -3 property and he believed that it.was the policy of the Planning Commission to face similar zoning on.a street. Mr. Andre urged the City Council to rezone this property to R -3 so that Mr. Farris could build two duplexes on each lot. Mr. John.Badgley, Architect,.ststed that he is an Architect and amity Planner for other cities in the state and that he has studied this matter of rezoning from the point of a professional planner. He said that a study will show that there are available many large parcels of land previously zoned R -3 and that there is no need-to zone additional R -3 property at this time. Mr. Badgley stated that there were good planning reasons for keep- ing Carpenter Street in an R -1 district in order to maintain the high caliber of single family.dwellings in this area. Further, Mr. Badgley said that dup3ex -type construction breeds slums as they are'never properly main.taiiied and.are the least desirable-de- velopment in an area. He also said that the present traffic load being carried by Hathway and Carpenter Streets would be increased by a great number if multiple dwellings were allowed to be placed as requested. Also, personally, Mr. Badgley is just against R -3 zoning near his residence. Mr. Burt Fellows - 20$ Hathway Street -- urged no change in zoning as requested by the petioners, primarily because of the tremendous increase in traffic which will .be generated by multiple dwelling houses to an already overcrowded street. He believed that for the protection of the children and residents of the area, additonal. traffic should be.discouraged, Mr. Paul Rich, property owner, appeared before the Council urging no c ange in zoning be made as people depend on the zoning at the time they purchase a property. Mr. M. E. Smith, property owner, .urged - -no change in the zoning; primar- ily because of the additional traffic which will be generated on Carpenter Street, Foothill and Hathway Avenue. Mrs..Charles Brown urged the City'Counail not to allow the change in zoning as the proposed area is adjacent to her home and she did ' not wish to look out her window onto these cheap dwellings.as this is a very desirable residential neighborhood and should be kept so for the nice people; not rented to transients who add nothing to the community. Dr. McCapes urged that no change be *jade in the zoning due to the increased traffic which will be generated by multiple dwellings. OCT H .1958 Mr. Andre again appeared before the City ;Council urging that the change in zoning be made for multiple dwellings as the community needs this type of .dwelling. Further, that whether this property is developed as a single or multiple dwelling the traffic would not be materially reduced due to the constant growth of the city. Mr. Andre believed that having these apartment dwellings built close to the school might tend to alleviate the traffic as students living this close to Poly might walk to school. 1 Mr: Bad 1 asked that the City Council study the figures presented by the ity's Planning.Consultan t, Hahn -Wise regarding the percentage of R -3 Area in the City and compare that with the perd.entage:of R -3 area in other cities. Mr. ,Brown, Cal Poly staff member, stated that he did not believe that the housing of Poly- students is an important item here as the most important point in this rezoning was the allowing of cheap housing to encroach upon high -class residential property such as he has. tie also said that most people., when they speak for- housing for Cal Poly students are not sincere as they are not interested in the student's welfare, but the money they bring to the community. ~? There being no further comments, the hearing was closed. On motion of J.-Barry Smith, seconded by Richard G. Sleight., it was moved that the zoning -change, ' as requested ;Y .Mr. Farris and Mr. Villa, be denied on the following roll call vote: AYES: Nels Beck Kenneth W. Jones, Richard G. Sleight, J. Barry 6mith, Fred H. Lucksinger NOES: None ABSENT: None PUBLIC HEARING - At this time the City Council held a:--public hearing on final - passage of Ordinance No. 89.(1958 Series).. An Ordinance Rezoning Property on Swazey Street From R -2 and R -3 to C -3. Mr. Fraser, Planning Director, briefed the City Council on the actions of the Planning Commission regarding the rezoning of a portion of Swazey Street. Mr._ Hiltunen appeared before the. City Council urging that they allow no change in aDning on Swazey Street due to the narrow- ness of the street, the poor.drainage and the heavy traffic that will be generated'by additional commercial development .in this area. He also said that people in this area were attempting, through maintenance and repair, to make this a nice residential area Mr. Joe Warnagieris, Realtor, appeared before the Council urging that no change to commercial or industrial zoning be made in this area of the closed Osos Street crossing as these types ..of businesses create a greater fire hazard and access for fire equipment to this area is very poor. Also, heavy traffic. would -.be generated by these industries on an already overcrowded.. street. Mr. Warnagieris believed that this area has already been pocketed by the.-closing of the Osos street crossing and should be allowed 1 to grow as a residential area. There being no further comments the hearing was closed. Final passage was denied on motion of J. Barry Smith,.seconded ' by Nels Beck on the following roll call vote: AYE-S:.' Nels Beck, Kenneth W.
