This being the time and place, as advertised, for a hearing to consider the revised General Plan, Mayor Hamilton declared the hearing open. Mr. Carl Reupsch, Director of Planning for the Unified Port District, stated the Port staff has reviewed the draft of the City's revised General Plan and the Board of Port Co~nissioners is fully aware of the changing demands on the tidelands and has indicated a desire to review their Master Plan in the near future.

Hauptli, Manager for Real Estate for Santa Fe Railway, 121 East Sixth Street, Los Angeles, stated their interest is in 400 acres they own between the Sweetwater River channel and "F" Street, held for future industrial develop- ment.

Mr. Eugene York, 280 "K" Street, representing South Bay Improvement Organi- zation, stated generally speaking they approve the General Plan and recommend adoption with few minor changes. They recommended that the General Plan undergo a major revision next year when census figures are made available, as the present revision is in reality just bringing the old plan up-to-date. They recommend this be undertaken with assistance of an outside consulting firm. Mr. York urged that the Council consider this at their budget deliberations and appropriate funds for this purpose. The organization recommended that the tidelands area be reserved for recre- ation, tourist-oriented recreation, and water-oriented, high density residential development with a limited amount of water-oriented industrial. They recommended development of a plan for a major industrial area south of the Gity. They recom- mended that more vacant land be zoned R-3 and that a plan be developed for inter- spersing R-3 development with R-I development. They requested an adjustment in the density classification because the classification in the Plan does not corres- pond with that in the Zoning Ordinance. Regarding the commercial areas on the General Plan, the organization recom- mended that the red areas in the undeveloped areas in the City be removed from the map and a policy statement be included in the General Plan relating under what circumstances and ~hat conditions commercial zoning of various types would be encouraged or allowed. They recommended that guidelines be established for loca- tion of m~bile home parks in the City. Mr. Cecil Sparling, 272 "H" Street, recommended development of the tide- lands to water-oriented industry and suggested that before changing the Master Plan on any of the waterfront area that a hearing be held on that phase only.
