We, the .undersigned property owners of West Covina, California,
do her 'eby petition 'the City Council, City of West Covina, California,
_ in protest against the change of the proposed zoning along Glendora
Avenue from C-2 to C-1. The C-2 zoning was proposed and presented by
the West Covina City Planning'Commission and Gordon Whitnall, Plan-
ning Consultant, at the last public zoning meeting held at West Covina
Primary ,School Building on 06vem6sF as; 1947, and had unanimous appro-
val of all present. The change from C-2 to C-1 was voted by the City
Council on January 21, 1948, but not publicized until the second week
in February 1948 and then only by posting a map in the 'city hall. This
change was represented in the West Covina Tribune as "minor changes".
To us this change is not minor and is of great importance. We, as
property owners in this section, feel that an injustice has been.done
and strongly protest any such change. We hereby request that the
change be rescinded and the property mentioned be.zoned C-2 as pro-
posed at the last public zoning meeting.
