John Brennan, representing Foster & Kleiser Company, requested that outdoor advertising signs be allowed in the "C2" zone rather than in the "PJ1" and 11M2" zones.

ADSOURNI?Mm MEETING OF P124-N'UING CO_�vIIIIS SIONT PROPOSK) ZOPTING ORDINANCE January 17, 1949 Trx. C. B. Offerman requested that territory which he owns in lot 7 be rezoned to "R311. iTpon motion by Piember Irey, seconded by 'Member Guest, and car- ried, it was agreed that 620' frontage from the South line to "C" Street, and 330' back from 44U-h Avenue would be re-zoned to "R311. During the discussion, hdr. Offerman stated that he will be willing to dedicate a portion of his land for the proposed 100 ft. wide Third Avenue extention. Nir. Sara Shapov indicated that he also would dedicate land for this road extention. Attorney Boyer read proposed changes to the Ordinance suggested at the two public hearings for the Commission's approval and the Chairman's signature. Upon motion by member Irey, seconded by Ililember Fisher, and carried, it was moved that such changes in the Ordinance be accepted. At this point Chairman Davis ordered the Stenographic Report of the past two public hearings be read. Member Guest inquired if that property around the railroad tracks should not be re-zoned in the event that the railroad tracks should be taken out. This matter was discussed and Attorney Boyer stated that changing would effect expan- sion of present uses. Ivo action was taken to change the Commission's prior recom- mendations. 'fir. Tohn Brennan, representing .Foster & Kleiser Company, objected to the small area that would be of use to them as outdoor advertisers. He felt that the fact that they .vlere restricted to "MITI and 11M21' zones was descriminating because they pay taxes and have a city license to operate ,a business as well as any other business. He stated that in the present "C1" zone there is approximately one sign, in the 1102" approx_imately two signs and in the City of Chula Vista, 26. 26 are in "A?1" and "11211 zones. He stated that as the areas are now zoned, it would be im- possible to replace leases that expire or bill boards that have to be rebuilt. � :Ir. Davis stated that there was no place for bill boards in the present "Cl" zone. air. Brennon requested the date of the Council Hearing and thanked the Commission. It;Lrs. G. P. Olsen objected to the word "maintained" in "Cl" use. Mr. Boyer stated that this does not apply to present non-conforming uses. L Mir. William Drew felt that the Cormiission had taken into consideration a great many of his remarks, as far as the Ordinance was concerned; but nothing had been done about changing the Zoning Pap as he suggested. He requested a direct answer as to why none of these suggestions had been taken into consideration. I+Ir. Davis told him that the opinion of the Commission did not agree to his suggested changes and view points, except to the extent that they had been adopted by the Commission. Regarding Section 9, M, Mr. Drew feels that the part reading "shall comply with lot area requirements of the "R3" zone", is out of order. Regarding Section 9, C3, hir. Drew feels that_ a rear yard of 20' takes off too much of the back portion of the property. Mr. Boyer stated that 10' of this is in the alley. Regarding Section 6, 7A, Mr. Drew feels that no right to build guest houses in unfair, except in lots having over 8,000 square feet. Upon motion by Member Welton, seconded by Member Irey, and carried, the Proposed Zoning Ordinance and T'Jap were approved for recommendation to the City Council, and Report of Findings, Summary of Hearings, and Recommendation of Planning Commission, a copy of which is on file with the record of these pro- ceedings was approved and the Chairman directed to sign the same for and on be- half of the Planning Commission. Mr. Drew stated that he would like to have it a matter of record that proper consideration had not been given to the citizens and their suggested changes. PY: i/s e cr (/ (%
