Mr. l-lbert Bradl.ey, the petitic~ner, appesrad beEorp the Commiasion and utated
t4-e~~. h• lasd ownad subject properCy ainoe 1954, and he would like to xemodal
ths ainc~le-family residenco ae ofliae spdoe for a realtor or accountant-type
uss.
Cha~irmxn Gauer ok,aervec] tt~at the Planning Commiseion for a long time had
discuaeed and encour.mgad land eaeaml~l.y of einqla-fam~ly homes fr~nting on
arterials, particularly for thoee lots a~jacent to subj~af propnrty, for
conversion to regulation-type commerci+~1 build~nqs, assemblinq two, three,
or Pour lote rather than continuinq the convereion of indiviSu~l lo~s and
homea tor commercial uses,
Comm~.aei~ner Allred ii~q4ired whether the propexty awnera on either eide of
aubject property were Freaent and recei.vod no rsaponae,.
Mr. Bradley noted that the property to the weet was up for sale with the
etatement that the property was zoned C-0, and properties three to four, lo*z
to the eaet and the Paurth lot to the wsst were already zoned C-O.
Commissioner 8aymour noted that there wer~ aome prablems with thi~ parcel,
havinq only a 58-foot lot frontage, and the euggeation that there be l~-nd
asaembly tn create more profesaional-type buiYdinge As redevelopment waa
deairable, but to con~tider thi~ raquea~ with such a narrow lot with nothinq
more thrsn screeninq in L•he front was aubatiL•uting one undesira~ale land use
far another r~deairable land use.
Mr. Bradley noted that the property L-c+ the eaet al.so had only screening in
fr~nt, although he did not know h~w extenoive the reu~odeling was inside.
Commisaioner Seymc~u~ inquixed whether the petitioner was fami.lia~r with the
Area on IIrookhurs~ sttest between Lincoln Avenug and Crescent Dxive, becauee
if thie co;-tiz-ui.ng use of rea~.de~ntial uees for comznercial purposes was
approved, th~ same i:hing waul~ h+~pPen along Linc~ln Avenue, and the situation
was som~thin~ the CoN~mission wae tryinq to nvoid, namely, convexsion of
single-family homes wi.th commercial useb that weze proposed with minimal
rade~ign to make t;iem appear te be a commer.cial bui.lding~ whereupon Mr.
Hradley noted tha~ ha was fa~miliar roitt~ the axea ind~.ca~ted.

and at thnt t~.me, s~t•aff noted that several conditian~s remeined to be met,

tlie poesible 9xception oa tha lo;aey+ng of secusity lighte, khe afor~mentio,~ed
conditiona had not been u~et. ~'~irthermore, the City Attorney's staff had
xecentl,y discuased this pr.oposed expansion with the petitioner but were not
ful].y mado aware o£ the ox~Ent. ox nature of the pro~o~ed 9xpansion and thus
suggested to the potitioner that the propoeed expanaion would be in ~cc:ozd
with tho intent ~f the Conditional Uae Permit No. 1052 ae appraved, 'xowover,
when the Development S~rvices D~partment revealed to tY.e C~~y Ai;torney's ataff
r~c~re details regarding the developing expansion, the City Attorncy then felt
that auch a use would actually not be in nccord wi~:h the use origina~ly
,.~Proved, there£ore, the Commission would wish to ~etermine iE this new use
wsa in kaeping with the originally ap~proved use and also if the u~e as i~ naw
ex'Leted would ati11 waxrant thd originally a~~roved waiver of a 6-foot masonry
wall enclosing the outdc+or uae.
Ueputy City Attorney Frank Lcwry noted ttia.t aince tho Planning Comn-iseion
pelieved this new uae was not in acc.ordance with the u~e originally appruved,
they should re~~uest that tYie City Counc~.l. turn back to the Planninq Comr,,isaiore
to determine at a publi.c hearing wY~etlier the uae was in accordance with the
use as oriqina.lly approved by the Planning Comm~.saion.
Commissioner Seymour offered a motion, seconded by Commiss~oner Herbst and
MG'PION CARRxED~ ~hat the Planning Cor-missiao requeats that the Ci~y Cour..cil
refer b+~ck to tha Planning Commisaion for aunsideration at i gublic he?~-ing
Conditlonal Use Permit No. 1052 to determine whether or not tt~e use naw bein~.,
made of t'.:e ~roperty i~ in conformance witt, the use o°iginaLly appro~~od by
the Plan»ing Conimission un September 11, 1u68, and whether recommendation
should be mafi~ to the City Council that rhn petitioner ahow causa for not
