Jett, reque-sting a time extension of done Variance No. 120,,­to December 8, 1956. Mr, Gerscherg- B'Upon checking the records on this particular case it is found that the variance was granted on the property with the intention that the existing buildings should be :removed when the property wgs developed. At -the present time there is no development, -I.- though it is in a state of flux and Ithink that some extension of time should be granted. However,, I question the time of extension for a full year. Perhaps a • six (6) months extension would b!e'more in order and it would give 'the Council the opportunity to review the case again at the endof this time and give another decision depending on the developmentu status of this area. 0 Mr. Lacey owner of the property 2509 north of this property opposed the granting of the request for time extension because of plansfordevelopment of surrounding property and also because of. the fact that there is a street connected with this property which if a time extension was granted would hold up future development. Mr. Lacey -further stated that the greatest cause for holding up the development was due to the gravel strike and that if this had not occurred improvements such as curbs, gutters etc., would have already been installed. Mr. Jett,. "The -property which ch we occupy is not ready to go ahead with any development at the present time. Mr. Stuart,, owner of the adjacent property to the south, is neither ready to sell or develop it at the present -time and I do not think anything detrimental would occur to anyone if this extnesion was granted. We will be ready to move if and when development occurs. The service road will have to go across both of these pieces of property. We would:like 'to get the section developed, but would like to stay until such time as.it.is actually ready to do so. Motion by Councilman Van Horn,, seconded by Councilman Kay, and carried, that the request for time extension by the Jett Realty Company on Zone Variance No. 120 be granted for a period of six (6) months ft-om December 8. 1955 with the verbal agreement that this occupanc'y will be ready to move when development is ready to proceed.

Southeast side of Glendora Avenue between Central Business District Garvey and Walnut Creek Parkway. Change from poten- tial C-1 zoning to Firm C-1 zoning,. Existing Zones.,R: A Initiated by, and rercommended ipr approval by the Planning Commission December 21, 1955. ZONE CHANGE No..61 City Engineer presented Zone Change Maps and Tentative (Tract No. 22268 - Revised) Maps of Tract No. 22268. Vice -Mayor Sperline stated C.T. Ryder that this is the time and place for public hearing on REFERRED TO PLANNING COMM. Zone Change No 61,(Tract No. 22268). Locations South of Walnut Creek Wash between Larkwood Street and Azusa Avenue. Request R-3. Mr. Gerschler pre- sented and read Resolution No. 323 of the Planning Commission recommending approval of Zone Change No. 61. with the following conditionst 1. That the development of the property conform to 'the provisions of Ordinance No. 325 and be conditional upon the recordation of a Tract Map as specified in Ordinance No. 225, or the adoption of an approved Precise Plan for the su,ject area. • 2. That the area rezoned exclude the proposed R.O.W. of the Los.Angeles County Flood Control. It was further recommended by the, Planning Commission that an access easement be granted between the two cul-de-sacs until access becomes possible from the south and the east, and that Lots 1, "29 39 and 4 as shown on the Revised Tentative Map of No. 22268 be retained as R-1. All those wishing to present testimony on this matter were sworn in by the City Cle rk. Mr. Lester Evert of 1525 Larkwood Street spoke in f avor. "At the time of the original request'f or thi.s..zone change the property owners.presented a petition in opposition to any R-3 zoning. However,, after attending the meetings of the Planning Commission in regard to this matter we are in agreement with the re- commendations as adopted by the Planning Commission. -3- CC 12/27/55 -4- Mr. John Hamilton of 1638 Walnut Creek Parkway spoke in opposition. "I believe that R©3 zoning would be detrimental to the surrounding property., which is re- sidential. Because of the fact that the Wash passes between the property to act as a buffer19 does not necessarily make it a good buffer particwlArly when two-story houses are good to be permitted to be erected. The fact that this land does not lend itself to R-lbecanse of its odd shape..does not mean that it lends itself anybetter to R�3 development. There is also some thought to 'bp given to the fact that the high-school will probably not be adequate to meet the needs as time goes on and perhaps some thought could be given for that • use also., in the future. Mr. Ger-schler read a- communication from Al Handler, owner of property at Cameron Avenue and Azusa Avenue,, protesting any other use other than R-1 development of this property.. Council -man Van Horn-. As I see this property it looks like it can be developed int6R-1 very easily. I think that if there is such a thingas 9spot zoning° this is definitely making one amid residential zoning. I do not feel I can go along with the Planning Com- mission on this zoning, Councilman Kay-. I basically gree with Councilman Van Horn. I think that at the present -time there is not a.n.eed for de- veloping this property as R-3. We have considerable property already zoned in the city as.R,-3 and R4 which has not been developed as yet. If,, at some future date,, the need for further R-3 is shown -to be pre- sent'.,a. request for zone change could be make at that time. Right now I do not think it is proper to go in with R-3 zoning here. Motion by Councilman Van Horne seconded by Councilman Kay and carried that Zone Change No. 61 and Tent,A-ive Map of Tract No. 22268,,-Revised be resubmitted to the Planning Commission with the recommendation.of denial.

Mr, Gerschler.- Prior to the approval by the Planning Commission of this Tentative Map my department made an extensive investigation of this property. Generally speaking the map appears be a very good solution to the most difficult.hillside terrain we will probably encounter. These lots are well above -the 20,000 foot district requirements, with • the exception�of one or two which are slightly under area district requirements. However, both of these lots are well located and we do not believe they will be detrimental in any way. We made studies immediately to the East, which is between this tract and the San Jose Hills Road. We found that Los Altos Drive will become a c ollector s treet t o that area to the East and that. is why we have asked that this drive be sixty feet in width. "All Street will.not become a collector street a collector street as Cameron Avenue will run into this tract. On Lot No. 11 there is a 20 foot wide leg running from the lot down to the r oad. Lot No. 11 is on, a knoll and the only way to serve the lot was to allow this strip for the driveway. This is also the case on Lots 20 and 21., and it was only done in cases where it. was feasible to do so. Motion by Councilman Kay, seconded by Councilman Van Horn and carried that Ten- tative Map of Tract No.'22389 be approved subject -to the:recommendations of the Planning Commission and the City Engineer. -RESOLUTION NO. 862 City Clerk presented and read Resolution No, 862 "A Commending Cpt.
