and subsequent modification to the General Plan, whereby the integrity
of a 250-foot strip of commercial zoning was maintained along the east
side of Beach Boulevard. The revised tentative map is a proposal to
divide 2.25 acres of land into 10 multi -family units with a 300' x 250'
lot remaining on Beach Boulevard for commercial development.
