The applicant proposes to operate an auto dismantling yard with retail sales of auto parts, in the Ml district on a 4. 8 acre parcel of .land which is master planned for light industrial use. 2. The property is located t.n the south side of Slater Ave. approximately 1.320 f t. west of Beach Blvd . 3. Automobile dismantling and used parts storage, when operated and maintained wholly within au enclosed building is pex-.01tted in the MI DistrLet. A motor vehicle storage yard is also per- mitted tsub j ect to approval of a use permit provided the re- quirements concerning such use are complied with. In this case, the applicant proposes to conduct the auto dismantling outside the building. 4. The parcel in question is on the fringe of the central indus- trial area. The property to the east, which is zoned R2 Two Family Residence District, has as approved tentative map for single family 'homes and item numbers 13 and 14 on the agenda propose to chsnge the zone to permit a mobilehome park.. The property to the north across Slater Ave. is zoned R3 and developed as a multiple family residential area. The pro- perty to the west is zoned 141 and the property to the south is zoned R3 and MI. 5. Item no. 11 on the agenda, Precise Plan of Street Aliment 70-1 proposes to precise plan a north-south connection between Speer Ave. and Slater Ave. along the east property line of thin parcel. Any action taken by the Planning Cow- mission on ` the Precise Plan Alignment should he codaidered in this request-:. The proposed street has been shown on , the applicant' s plot plan. R r b. The applicant proposes to construct pan office and storage is building in the front portion of the property and to con- struct an 8 ft . high decorative masonry wall parallel to and 59 ft. from Slater Ave . He also proposes to construct an 8 .ft. high metal fence along the. Cast, south and nest property lines. 7. An application aimiLar to this wasp approved by the Planing Cocsmission in March of 1969. The property was situated on the west side of Gothard 5t , 65U ft. north of Elli e, Ave. In that case, the applicant constructed a masonry wall and building parallel to Gothard St. with metal fa3ncing along the side and rear property lines. The difference between this request and the request presently being considered by the Planning Commission is that•, the metal fence for the auto wrecking yard on Gothard St. was only constructed on interior property lines and the material was approved by the Planning Commi hsion. The sapplicant, in this; case,, pro-- poses to construct the metal fence on the two local sstarects, Speer Ave. and till=_ proposed street and has not submitted samples of the t fpe of metal to be used. 8. Although the :aappl'..c&nt proposes to construct a ti 8 ft. high decorative masonry gall along the front property line, this gall will. not :acrceu the auto storage and d1snKntUr,,& area free the R3 property to the north because the R3 area is at a higher elevation than the wrecking yard, making it possible for the residents living along Jacquelyn Lane to view the wreciting yard from their front yards and for vehicles tr3valing south on Jacquelyn Lazne to also view the wrecking yard. 9. It is the 4zonsenasua of the Staff that provisions should be made to permit uses such as this within the Cit4y j howeever, such use rshoul.d not be located adjacent to residauttal areas* If. the Pianuiang Com, i.ssion fli-nds that a hardship *'Xists on the property , the following conditions of aa<pproval"ore submitted for your considerationt i 1.

Gentlemen:- We attended a public hearing at the Council ChAmbexs at 7 P.M. on Feb 17th in regard to tho "Conditional Er_-�eption # 70--10". , This proposal ©et v{,th much opposition, and justly no. ray husband. and I, as well as my sister, Myrtle Torncvacca, were among those who I opposed this permit for a wrecking yard. We own our homes here and our property lies adjacent to the proposed site . Valid reasons for oPPosing 70-10 &rya as follows: 1 ► Since we are forced to stay in thR M.L zoning without recourse to the better zoning of R. 2 or R.3, we can only use the rental of the house and pasturage at 772 Slater Ave to pay the exhorbitant taxes now imposed 's on us in Orange County. ; -2--An added hardship would be imposed on ua as well are on the ownern of the lovely apartments across the street on Slater Ave. --3- Property values Mould certainly be downgraded. --4--Posaibility of rentals to desirable tenants would be decreased j' accordingly. -5--Since the building vhiwh the applicant proposoe would indeed be very sWa11--s.0184 ' , It could not possibly cover or hide the tranhy condition that would inevitably, finally exist at an unslghtly vreckitig yard It would not only be unsightly, bat noisy as well. ...This would be particularly trod since the applicant proposes to conduct the auto diaauantling outoide the building, , since this would be the causative factor in creating the nolne and uxsightlinimR, we oppose •.7.-We agree wholly ei tb. paragrRph 0 of your staff report that an eight• ro'bt fiance could not possibly screen the auto otorage or dies- i mantling arta from the R.,3 property, the very nice apartaents woro s the street , on Slater, because of the higher elevation, nor could It be t . r. t� screened. from vehicles travelling{ uouth on Jaquolarie lane. Nor, I. might add, it could not be escreened Irom our houice anI property at 7652 Slater, adjacent to the proposed site of the wracking yard, —8— Since the proposed site would be teo close to these reaidential areas, it would create a hardship on itany people ,—the apartment house owners and duellers, as well as we who own homes and depend upon rhrAtals of such property to pay our heavy taxos. we feel that much real thought and consideration should be given these already establighed home r,nd apartment owners and renters and not al1aw a truly disrupting force to come in and tear down what we have already built and hope to build. We are hopeful of selling to someone who wiwill develop this area. - 9- We believe there are: other areas not adjacent to these rceidential areas that would be mdre suitable for the establishment of a wrecking I�I yard. f�.
