Briefly, that history is that that was before this Council on a petition for annotation, this sa o sure of forty -Five acres, as early as 7.1ovember, 1953., at which t1no the Counci held a hearing, and in December$ 1053, more than a year ago it came bo fore this Council and it was a first roadinZ of the ordinance of the annexation. Thereafter, and for a period of almost eight month, the matter was dropped by the proponents of the annexation of this land, because$ as you know from your records, the pity Council had remised to ro alon3 with the zoning that the peoplo who wanted the annexation of this property to the city had asked for, a comnercial zoning of the property. The proponents* I'm sure, clearly have no intorest in cominr, into this city unless they get this zoninG. tit the tile, the city witlhol any further action. That was back in December of 1953, because the zonlngwasn+t to their liking, as I say. Hif ht months later thmro was a eacond roading of an ordinance of annexation, and It was passed on that your. city is on rocord as having already annexed this property. A month after that a copy of that ordinance was filed with the Secretary of Stato o which, under our laws,, la the last stop in comple t in an amexati on. The pooplo whom I rorpre sent, as you knows onCajjed use to brim a, legal attack upon the 0,rant I=q-y n2ond, COURT REPORTER 41 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 • 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Validity of thoac proceodlnos on grounds I won't Co into hem thin eventing, such as was filed in tho 3uperior Courts 6nd your .City Attomoy dofoaded tho IoC,,allty of that amexation. That was final and loyal. You pointod out tha� our attack was i3omo throo or four days after you had filed the order wit2a the Secretary of State,, and successfUlly urr,od Won the Court the position that, without the approval of the Attornoy General of this State$ we were too. late to attack it. That is. your positions than, I suppose,, now than that is a valid annexation. Promptly' upon roeeivinr, that ruliA-,j, and within tho time allowed by laws -%ve wont to tho Attorney General of this State, and on the 23rd day of Decambor filed a lawsuit in the name of the State of California In relation to the citizens here. That suit IS pending in the Superior Court In Los Anaelos. The grant of pa=ission to file the action was co=11,14,01onal grant.

To brin- it up to dates I might state that at an earlier hoarin3 on tho l3th day of DocoLibor I was present, and a number of people W'WIM I ;.vaprosent were presents prepared here to present our logal position. lv',;o came here and we care were and we sat av4d we found out that the matter had been put .over to tonicht We noticed that ,on. that occasion the proponents of that; annexation, the ownars of the land and real estate dovelopors, apparently know the mtat-Oer wasn't coninrr ups becaun'o It went over. 1,74owp it seams to me that the annexations are a matter of public interests otherwise I, wouldn't bo standing hero reprosonting, W positions, that we are entitled to have these proeeedinSs In such an orderly T,,qmer that we knor where vto stand. I read In a newspapex,� that that is the purpose of this. whole proceeding., a sort of back -stop to the other armexation. In other words.. if It turns out that your earlier attempt on annexation we- a not successful# that somehow after this hearing,,., months, or perhaps a year later this proceedirr, will bo activated- vind. Maybe a first hearinv A�� of ordinary annoxatl=2 and months later pick It up and iiav a second hearing I don't k-now that that Is your purpose; "",see no other purpose that that Is what the paper vaid. you could have.

Can the other hand, l say that the basic ordinance of our city provides that now property that comae into our city, and I'm spe in; now of the ordinmace of 1948s your Ordinance 1 umber 14% and t1-w axmoxdment, the comprehensive amendment of that, Juno 26, 1954y your Ordinance Number 325 clearly states that property annexed to the city subsequent to the date of the ordinance shall be doomed as classified, or would not. 1 ov, you know ond 1 know that the proponents of this annexAtion, both the owners and the real estate developers, are utterly uninterested in �ri.n�irr�; tho property' in zoned for residential us age .

And that Is quite aside from these two points. There is a serious question in the minds of those wlkmia I represent, and In my own mind$ as to the wisd of the annexation of this property as commercial propertyt aM I put the two together, because that Is obviously the purpoao of the annexation. I have already pointed out your zoning ordinance of Juno or 1954j, which I am infonmed represented an expenditure of some CZOOO.. and a year of study,* came up with the answer that a now property comin7 into this city shouldcoma In zoned as Rls and then after it Is in the city$ the o=ors of that property ohould talto their chance with the Plannin- Commission.
