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 to develop a chemical- medical.laboratory in and he felt that if the property were zoned Commission, he would have a non - conforming with the development of his laboratory.

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.

Therefore, it was the consensus of the City Council that the General Plan be amended to allow PO on this parcel of property.

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 ' adjacent property owners had some vested to be developed on this property.
