representing the South Bay Development Company, gave in detail the reasons for
the appeal.

variance, with the exception of brief remarks by Planning Commissioners
Drew and Smith.
The Council heard evcNyone who wished to be heard on the subject.
The Council thereupon discussed thc matter at length, and felt that
to uphold the appeal from th~ decision of the Planning Commission would tend to
break down throughout the City all standards set up in the zoning ordinance, and
set a precedent whereby othera would seek the same privilege.. It was felt no
undue hardship would be inflicted upon the present occupants Gae to the zoning
ordinance.
It was moved by Councilmau Hobet, seconded by Councilman Riesland, and
carried, that the appeal be denied, and the decision of the Planning Commission
upheld for the reason that the Council is unable to make the findings as set
