Herb Chatterton addressed the Commission and felt that the proposed
designations from industrial to residential would result in a checker-
board type of development. He stated that it seemed to him that some
housing developers in the City wanted to make some money in Huntington
Beach.
Gerald Jones addressed the Commission and stated that he did not think
there was an excessive amount of industrially zoned property in the
City. He felt that changing the designation from industrial to
residential would result in a tax loss to the City. He stated that
if there are marginal uses in the City the problem could be solved
by rewriting the ordinance. He stressed the need for more industry
which would provide more jobs in the area.
Mark Porter addressed the Commission and spoke in favor of developing
small parcels industrially, stating that tuch development would
provide jobs in the local labor market. He noted that three of the
lowest income census tracts in the City were located right next to
the Gothard strip, and development of the small parcels as noted
above could possibly provide jobs for that area.
James-M. Thompson, a supplier of lumber oriented companies in
California, discussed plans for a new lumber yard north of Slater
Avenue. He discussed the need for the Southern Pacific right-of-way.
He commended the staff on the staff report but felt that a surplus
of industrial land is unfounded. He felt that the staff used poor
judgment in classifying lumber yards as middle-of-the-road industry.
He discussed the tax dollars to the City provided by one of the
lumber yards..
Melvin Mermelstein commended Mr. Thompson and discussed the company's
history. He spoke of the previous hardships incurred by having to
move his business. He stated that he presently employt . 20 to 25
employees who would be out of jobs if he was forced to move.
Ron O'Neal addressed the Commission and stated that he did not think
there was an excessive amount of industrial land in Huntington Beach.
He further stated that he was a real estate broker and was seeking
industrial land, having had to go as far inland as Anaheim. He
requested that the Planning Commission retain the industrial zoning.
Bruce Greer addressed the Commission and stated that if the industrial
area was designated residential there would be no more industrial
land in Huntington Beach. He stated that the changes would benefit
the residential developers in the City, and that he could find no
surplus of industrial property. He further noted the additional
revenue that would be brought into the City from industrially
developed property.
Ronald Lazar, manufacture of musical instruments, stated that he
had just moved to Huntington Beach in February of this year and
bought the land with the understanding that it was to be industrial.

Mark Porter, in response to Dr. Hoffman's question as to why this
corridor had not been developed previously, stated that other property
in the City with different topography had been developed as industrial
and that the reason for interest in developing this area industrial

in sewers and water.

in that area.
