Walt Miller, Representative for Bolsa Realty Co., asked the Commission Vihat the proposed Page 4. Minutes - H. B. Planning Commission Tuesday, July 22nd, 1958 zoning.would be on a parcel of property approximately 200 feet south of Talbert on the east side of Highway 39- Dr. Payne, 8345 Talbert Avenue, Huntington Beach, addressed the Commission and asked Weybright what the ruling would be regarding the proposed R-1 zoning for the Rose Lawn Cemetary at Talbert and Highw4 39. Weybright explained that the R-1 would not affect the Cemetary because it would become a non -conforming use. He further stated that the R-1 does include quasi -public uses, and a cemetary can be considered as such according to Weybright. MAP SEC: 26-5-11: Walt Miller, representative of Bolsa Realty, requested a definition of R-3 Zoning District under the new proposed ordinance. 'Mrs. Geo. Harbeck, requested Weybright to explain what a Use Permit was and when it was applicable. Richard Mills, 4427 Rosada Street, Long Beach 15, California, represent- ing the Hurst estate property at the NW corner of Highway 39 and.Talbert Avenue, addressed the Chairman and requested that serious consideration be given to recommend the NW corner for An R-4 use. The reason given was that they were preparing plans for an elaborate trailer park resort of a type which would be an ass6t to the city. W. L. Weybright gave his endorsement and stated that the request was not unreasonable. The Commission concurred and the Chairman asked the Secretary to make the correction.

Miller, Contract Division of Standard Oil of California and representing also the Western Oil and Gas Association requested that the City form an.oil committee with the proper city officials and representatives from the Commission.and Council respectively.

Minutes - H. B. Planning Commission Tuesday, July 22nd, 1958 MAP SEC: 34-5-11: There was no repponse when the hearing was opened to the audience, the hearing was closed to the public. MAP SEC: 35-5-11: Robert M. Bushnell, 326 West Third Street, Los Angeles 13, addressed the Commission and argued for C-1 zoning for his property along the west side of Highway 39 and south of Taylor Avenue: He argued on the premise that the corner at Ellis Avenue was proposed for C-1, therefore his corner at Taylor Avenue which lies in the same block should have to be zoned similarly. Weybright pointed out to the protestant that Taylor Avenue was nothing more than a private alley, that the proposed commercial area on the corner of Ellis & 39 was sufficient for civic needs for the next ten years, and that zoning districts seldom occur by blocks. Mr. Bushnell continued to argue for zoning in blocks. Stuart Gibbs, 18451 H. B. Blvd., argued in favor of Robert Bushnell; Gibbs also argued for an extension of proposed C-1 zoning to include all that acreage lying to the rear of his frontage commercial corner. Weybright reiterated his first reply and explained that shopping centers are seldom located on land previously zoned for commercial. He pointed out that shopping centers are lo- cated within the heaviest concentration of buying power, and not necessarily where commercially zoned acreage is located. He further argued that R-2 could 1 be used -for parking area in the event he was refused for commercial zoning on • his rear acreage at a later date. Louis Chappelear, Field Representative for the Western Oil and Gas Association, protested the proposed zoning ordinance which required service stations to obtain Use Permits prior to locating. He argued that it was not necessary because of their safety record and that they should be allowed to lo- cate,anywhere in a Commercial zone. Weybright replied that seldom would a - service station be denied a Use Permit, however the surrounding neighborhood, • he declared, has a right to demand minimum protection, especially in regards to safety devices or objectionable operations. The hearing was closed to the public. The Planning Commission adjourned to the next hearing date set for August 19, 1958, at 7:30 P:M., when Map Sections 2-6-11 and 1-6-11 will be heard. r ` Bob Bazil Chairman Clifford E. Trinp Secretary
