The first property under discussion was Butt Polin'- property -at the east end of
Rougeot Place.
Terry Sanville again reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to desig-
nate the eastern end of Rougeot Place from PO to R -1. He explained that.the
Planning Commission-felt that R -1 was consistent with the General Plan, the
property was bordered on two sides by lbw..density residential uses and access
was through a residential neighborhood ( Rougeot Place). He.felt that either
a standard subdivision or a planned development.would be acceptable in this area.
Burt Polin, property owner, asked the City Council'.to approve high density
residential development for this area as he felt it would'be a good development
for elderly persons since the site was close to the neighborhood'commeicial'
uses. He also stated that he owned the residence that faced Meinecke Street
which.would become an additional access to this property if it were needed.
He also felt that a high density zoning in the area would make a'good buffer
between the R -1 on Chorro and the PO on Santa Rosa Street and the CN on
Foothill Blvd. He stated that'if nothing else, to leave-the property as P0.
Mrs. Zanchuck, 26 Chorro Street, urged the zoning on Rougeot Place as R -1
with no higher densities allowed on the Polin property due to the hazards of
additional traffic on Chorro Street which was narrow and all traffic from the
Polin property would have to enter Broad Street from Rougeot which was on a
curve.
Councilman Petterson stated that he felt that R -1 was wrong for this parcel
of land due to its size. He felt it should'be'put to higher use and hoped::
the Planning Commission would reconsider its recommendation. .
Councilman Jorgensen agreed.that.R -
-1 was difficult�to develop b
but he would
support the Planning Commission's recommendation, hoping that.the o
owner would
use the planned development p
procedures for development of-the p
property.
Councilman Settle stated he w
would _
R -1 due to access problems and
size of the property.
Councilman Dunin stated he was opposed to R -1. He felt some other zoning should
be placed on the land.so that the owner could make.some use of the property.
Mayor Schwartz agreed that this.was a difficult property to develop with poor
access to Broad Street, and he would support the R -1 recommendation of the
Planning Commission.
On motion -.of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Settle, that the
City Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and place
this parcel into R -1. .Motion carried, Councilmen Petterson and Dunin voting no.
The City-Council then considered the property along Casa Street from Foothill
Blvd. to Murray Street.
Dr. Dean Robinson, corner of Casa and Foothill Blvd., asked that his property
be zoned for high density residential rather than PO as recommended which
was the present zoning as he felt that.the PO would inhibit the future'develop-
ment of his parcel.to high density residential. Other properties.in the general
area are presently developed with high density'rdsidential•fuses:
On motion of.Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, that the
City Council support the Planning Commission and retain the property in the
PO designation. _Motion carried.
Nisar Ahmad, 304 -308 Casa Street, stated he

Councilman Settle felt that the property should be zoned to PO due to the adja-
cent office uses. He felt that on both sides of Casa Street and Murray Street
development should be P0.
Councilman Dunin and Councilman Petterson agreed that this corner parcel should
be rezoned to P0.
Councilman Jorgensen stated he would agree with reservations due to direction
' and reasons for not following the General Plan.
Terry Sanville supported the Council's proposal to rezone this property to P0.
Mayor Schwartz also agreed that the property should be rezoned to PO and the
General Plan should be amended accordingly.
Therefore, it was the consensus of the City Council that the General Plan be
amended to allow PO on this parcel of property.

Councilman Petterson left the room as he owned property in this area.
The City Council again considered the property on Highland Drive owned by Starkie,
Lutz and Bachelor which was recommended by the Planning Commission and approved
by the City Council for R -2 -S.
Terry Sanville stated that the Planning Commission had recommended the R -2 -S
so that the Planning Commission would have some control of the property as it
developed which would include access to the street, traffic, etc.
John Newland, 569 Highland Drive, stated
tion for some protection to the adjacent

to be developed on this property.
