PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF Director of Planning Warren submitted the
PREZONING FOR THAT AREA KNOWN AS prezoning map explaining that this prezoning
THE SWEE~ATER VALLEY ANNEXATION plan was the result of the many meetings held
by the Sweetwater Valley Prezoning and Plan-
ning Cormnittee. A continued public hearing
on this matter was held by the Planning Com-
mission on September 20, 1971.
Mr. Norman Williams, Senior Planner, reviewed
the proposed prezoning plan. He noted the
104-acre parcel south of the South Bay Free-
way -- the only area in which there was a
disagreement. It is presently zoned E-1-A
for 52 acres, R-3 for 40 acres, and commer-
cial for 11~ acres in the County. The Plan-
ning Cormnission recormnends it be prezoned to
R-3-P for 47 acres with a density of 470 units
or 10 units per acre, which would be a town-
house concept. The Cormnission further recom-
mends that the co~nercial be prezoned C-N for
5 acres for a neighborhood shopping center.
James Miller, 4819 Whipporwill Mr. Miller stated he was chairman of the Com-
Lane, Bonita mittee working on the prezoning. He reviewed
the recommendations as proposed by the Com-
mittee.
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised,
the public hearing was opened.
Lance Allworth, 13934 Vista Ridge, Mr. Allworth stated he is representing Sara-
Dallas, Texas toga Development Company. He discussed the
agreement with the City whereby they would
not oppose annexation; this was made at the
time they annexed to the Spring Valley Sani-
tation District, Mr. Allworth spoke of their
development plans and the access to the devel-
opment from the South Bay Freeway. They have
no objection to a lower density.
Dennis Wittman, President, Saratoga Mr. Wittman stated they have no objection to
Development Company the density proposed by the staff. Their
maps are being processed in the County with
street patterns that tie in with the freeway.
This has been coordinated with the State Divi-
sion of Highways. This street pattern creates
an automatic ll-acre commercial area. They
have no objection to coming into the City if
it is based on the plan as approved by the
County.
George Shibata, Attorney, 17955 Mr. Shibata stated he is representing Mr.
Beach Blvd., Huntington Beach Larry Morrison, owner of property in the
flood plain area. He questioned the future
plans for this property.
Director of Planning explains Mr. Warren explained the proposed prezoning
for that property. He added no plans have
been submitted by Mr. Morrison for that prop-
erty. The zoning is agricultHral because it
is in the flood plain, until land use plan
is approved.
Mr. Edwin Mace, 3855 Alta Loma Mr. Mace questioned the density proposed for
Drive, Bonita that area owned by the Saratoga Development
Company. Mr. Williams explained the zoning
pattern proposed.

he has a conditional use permit for this 20-
acre parcel to construct a mobilehome park.
This ~se ~ho~ld be reflected on the prezoning
map.
City Attorney's opinion City Attorney Lindberg explained that a con-
ditional use permit simply recognizes the
necessity and desirability of a use permitted
within the zone, and it runs with the land;
it would have the same validity as the zoning
that exists.
Mr. Shibata questioned the status of the con-
ditional use permit which his client~ Mr.
Morrison, has for the sand and gravel opera-
tion on Sweetwater Road.
Mayor Hamilton explained that his use would
be permitted upon annexation, unless and un-
til ~.M~rriso~ dimc~n~n~es that use.

or against, the hearing was declared closed.

final maps. The tentative maps were filed in
March 1970 and they have until March 1972 to

City Attorney's opinion Mr. Lindberg stated that the recordation of
the maps does not create an estoppel on the
part of the City from changing the zoning;
the City can change the zoning even after
the map has been recorded up until the time
a building permit is requested.

the overlay submitted on that property adja-
cent to the freeway: by stating that the proper
