The Staff was instructed to study the area and report in the near future. CHANGES OF ZONE CITY OF FOUNTAIN VALLEY The Planning Director reported that the City of Fountain Valley was considering three changes of zone on property adjacent to the City of Huntington Beach. Zone Case 34 proposes a C-1 Zone at the northwest corner of Cannery and Garfield; Zone Case 36 proposes 20 acres of C-2 Zone at Brookhurst and Garfield; Zone Case 40 proposes 20 acres of C-1 Zone at Brookhurst and Ellis and R-1 Zone on some additional property. After discussion, it was the concensus that Zone Case 36 was not objectionable and that portions of Zone Cases 36 and 40 should be recommended for denial.
