appeared to be offering; and that trucks "rapping up" to pull Che grade at the loadin~
dock wauld be the grente~t noi.se.
Mr. Mill~r then stated that the trucks w~uld be making a ehort run to get into the loadina
we11 and then uut of it.
Ghairman llerbet noted that he had r~ceived 69 letCera signed in opposiCion to suUject
petition and upon a ohowing of hands~ approx~imotely 35 pereons indicated their presence ~t
the meeti.ng in upposition und two indicated theg were in fuvor. of the aubJoct petition.
Mr. M111.;, E~teted Chat upon campletion of hie aurvey, he had added 211 aignatureA to ~he
map wh~~li Lndicated thoRQ areas aurveyed, and r.hat 82~X w~xe in favor, 1l3/~•~ wer~ appoaed,
and 6~ `~ :d no opinioa.
Commi~sioner Gauer reviewed the petiti~ns received :Lr.favor and ir- opposition, and noted
that every street wss r.epresenCed in both instancea but that ie appcared the ma~ority were
i.n favor of tt; that Alphs Beta Company had a good reputaClon and wiCh the subjec. property,
they would perhaps ~'•y ~-arder Chan ever to caake a good busitiesa at that location.
Chairman Nerbat noted thut, in his opi.nion, the people who were mosr.iy affected by tl~e
proposal were not in fav~r of it ancl tnat there waa more to zoning the property than the
as~~unption that the majority of the people wa»ted it. Chair~an Herbst f.urther n:.~ted thaC
he had viewed the prorerty in the field from all directions, and the chi~dren would be up
a~,d down the street in draves nt that particul.ar location.
.hairman Herbst then q~iestianed the Office Engineer regarding the traffic count ta compnre
:he proposal with development of the ptoperCy Wiroximatelyr~fivegto six tripsiper dayiper
that for an apartment pro~ect there would be app
unit and if figured at gix trips per day, using 110 units as a base, there would be approxi-
mately 500 to 800 trips per day compared to the 4,000 to 5,000 trips per day £or the pro-
posed comwercial. developm~nt.
Chairman Herbet then noted that those figures wer~ considerably lower thsn th~ traffic
volumes projected for the COILNPx'C~81 use; Lhat the sub~e Froperty was zoned for resi-
dential use, although there wae commercial in the immediate area; that, in his apinion,
there had not been a drastic change in the area since the prEVious public hearings on the
subjecC property, aF to whether it ahcald be c~mQnercial or residentia.l; that approval of
Che aub~ect petiCic.i would bp apot zoni.ng and would have a draet~c •Lmpact on the future of
the arca; and that cven tt:~ugh the ~eople in ~.he srea appeared to be in favor, those who
would have the most exposure were iwt.
Mr. Kenneth Klotz, 1101 Dove 5treet, Newport Beach, appeared before the Com-aission and
noted that a petition had been filed during Che prevfous public hearinositionhe subjnct
property, said petition containiag approximately 700 aignaturee in opp
Mr. Miller then diacussed that the Highway Divisior, had a plari to widen Creecent Avenue,
and the people were concerned abouC making the dedication, and if th.: propoaed center ~aas
c.onstiructed ~ney were afraid they would have to dedicate aooner; and that he had aecer-
Cained that even thoiigh the shopuing center may not be constructed, the Etrqet would be
widened anyway.

occaAiuns when they woul.d want to take vehicles l.n trade, however, it would be on small

pointed out thE differance bet~~een the proposed operatian and that of SouthwesC i.easing;
that Intercontinenta2 Leasing was a relatiwely emall operation w3tn principal offices in

reepect to rY~e lightin~ ta be diracted ~way from Che prop~'r~Y li.tte.
TH!s PUBLIC HEARTNC WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Gauer noted that Commiesionar I~aranu had uxpr~~s~ed concern th~t uaed car lots
not be permitted in the ~ub~ect areo. He furtlier noted thst alChougl- the petitioner had
indic:ated they would nul be ~loing much busineab~ the name wao indicaGive of business
across the U. S. and mnre ao; that signs on the windshields had not been permitL-ed £or the
Hertz RenC-a-Cnr ugency and the Southweet Leasing Company a~zd if the petitioner wxnted to
be in bueine3s at the anbject location, he would have to li~~e up to the s~undar.ds developed
for tt-ie ather leasing ~~ompanies in th~ area.
Mr. Pa tteryon then atated that usually he would c~n6ider a used c:ar lot as R large facility
w1.th overhead 1lghting, etc., howev~r, ttie proposed operatio~~. would preclude thgt conditien;
and tt-iat Southwear. Leasing was n much larger operation than ::ntercontinental, whom tie
repres ented .
Chairman Herbst i.ndicated thnt the Planning Commiesion had be~n very th~rough with respecr
to granting slmilar uaes in the subject area and it would be. ;:heir intention not to grant
any more or any less for lhe, ~ubject proposal. He further nor.pd that if trade-ina were
allowed, there would be cowpetiCion with the automobile indusf ry, and the intent of t'~e
ordi.nnnce was to allow the cara to be eold but that the automcUiZes could not be advertiaed
since they ~aould be sold to the people who leased them; and thit if the sub~ect petition
was granted as proposed, ~hen the other leasing c~,mpanieo wou13 be back before the Planning
Commission for the eame condit:Coi~-s.
Mr. Patterson stazed thxt he represented I:~terconti.nenCal Car l~easing only and a leasing
compaay's inability to take a vehic:le in trade might preclude ntak.ing a lease; and L•hat the
way ttle condition was preaented, ehc~ compun.y would be precluded from taking a vehic.le in
trade at all. He then queati~ned FrY-et:her item 16(b) of the Staff Report was in connection
with a propoaed :aale or a prapoaed lease, and Deputy City Attorney Frank Lowry adviaed
ttiat as he understood it, there wss no dif£erence; that t.he Planning Commission's intent
w~ts that there would be no vehicles taken in Crade, however, th~ey were permi.tted to whole-
aale out only L~nder wholesaler's permi.t when the vphicles came back from leases.
Mr. Patterson explained that the conciition regarding trade-ina would interfere with their
ability to le:ase on a fleet scale and Chainnan Herbat nated that~. if the petitioner wanted
to conduct tliat kind of buaineas t.hey would need to go into a C••3 Zone where used carr~
were allowed.
Mr. Patter~on then directed the Planning Cummiasion'A attention to Condition No. 4 in the
Staf f Report and i.nquired i.f there really was a need for the 6-f oot wa~l, and Commissioner
Morley r~~ted that the wall could probably be waived in view af the fact Chat the ad~acent
property was developed wi*.h a similar uxe.
Mr. Patterson queationed the need for a parcel map wliich would be a requirement of ~ondi-
tio~. No. '1 in the Staff Report, and Office ~:ngineer Jay Titus advised that at some tim~ in
the paet an il?egal lot. split had o~curred which involved the avb~ect property and a
parcel map was never recorded, and it was tne City's policy in such cases to require th~t
a aarcel map be recorded whenever it came ta their attention.
CommiseiQner Tolar then questioned what the personal property wauld consiat of which would
be lensed £rom the aub}ect property. and Mr. Pattersan aCated that hia cli~nt dealt in galf
car ta, airplanes, afT-conditioning ~quipment~ etc.~ xhich would not necessarily be located
at the sub~ect location, howev~r, they would procesa the paper tirork on the pzemiaes and,
theseupon, Mr. Patterson stipulated tliat no boata, sirplanes, si.r-conditioning equipment,
or cther personal propert~ for sale nr leaee would be aCored on the aub~er.t property, but

would oupport the pctitioner's b~eic prupoeal.
Commieaionar Gauer revtewed the Hertz Rent-ii-Cat agency app.'.icaL•ion and noted that the
Comwiaeion wanCed n clean operation ond consequently Fiertz h~id r~greed to the conditlona of
approval in order to da bueiness in the subject area; tiiat H~rtz wns ~n1y ae.lling those
carr~ which they wera bringing in fram lease; and that although Nert2 wae noC displaying
"for. sale" aignv on any of th~ir cara~ they hRd the freedom to lndicute to an interested
person w}iat L•he sulea price wna.
Commi~eioner Johnson note.d that tha petitioner. was not naking for flaga or special light-
ing;, but w~-s aeking for. aigns~ which he would agree aliould be eliminated; howevar~ ~.f the
buainesa could r~ot take trade-ins, then the Commiseian was more or less indicating that
the peti~ioner. cuuld noC do busineae in Anaheim.
In i~eapnnae to yuestioniiig by Commiesioner. Morley, Mr. Patteraon i.ndicated that in eome
ina9:ances thoae vehiclea taken i.n trude would never reach the aubject property.
In Yeaponse to queationing by Commisaioner Tolar, Mr. Patteraot~ etipulated that no more
than 25 vehicles for eale or lease would be stored on subject T~roperty at ary one time to
allo~w the remaining 1Q parking epaces to be uaed for employeea and cuKtomera.
Comm:lasioner ICing <~uestioned the difference between thE proposal and the Mazda and Volvo
agenc:ies in the gi•ea, and Mr. I~owry adviaed that Che Code parmitted a new car deulership
in certain zones and did not perwit a used car lot fn that sawe zone sinr_e a used car. lot
would have to be located in another zone or be permitted througti a cond:tional use permiC
procedure; and t.hat the new car dealership r.ould have uaed ~ar salea as an ancill.ary part
of hi,s biieiness.
Mr. S~~m Hamilton, one of the petitionere, appeared bef~re the Coimnisaion and statel tl~at
Interr.ontinental Leasing was ten years old; that whenever thetr r.lients had cara to dis-
poae of, they primarily assisted the lessee in finding buyeze for. the old automobiles;
that up to the preaent time the,y had never had a used car lot anc'. prese:-tly they ha~d only
one used car s~t their Wnittier. location; that they were pr.imarily fnvolved in billing,
invoic.Lng~ collecl•ing, etc., and that the idea of buying and selling like a used car loC
was not: the truth since all they would be doing would be diaposi.ng of automobilea that
they ne~ceas~irily needed to in cor~nection with their operation.
Chairman Herbst clarlfied that the intei-t of the Cammisston regarc;ing trade-ins was •;iok to
permit thoae~ cars taken in trade to be atored on the subject propFrty nnci sold ~s used
cars, arid with ai~na on them; however, the Commieai.on was not r.oncer.n::d wher~ the paper
wor'k wai~ conducted.
Commiasioner King ~ioted that the petitioner could pro~ably expose only two cars fram the
front of the sub~ect property since that area would have Lo be left. open lor customers to
enter the property, and the petitioner concurred by stating that tt~ere would be two drive-
ways in rhat area for use by their customer~.
ln respor~se to queationing by Com~issioner Marley, Mr. Hamilton ati~~ulated khat the proposed
access gate to Mountain View Avenue was for P..mergency purposes only„ that no prices wuuld
be poeted on the windahiel.ds or other par.ts of the vehicles being of`fered ~or eale, and
khat they would terminate the sub~ect conditional use permit upon tex'mination of the
primary u:se of the subiect property, being automobile leaeing and rental.
Chairman l~erbat noted wiCh reapect to the condition regarding trade-ina ~hat he would not
vote for e~nything that was denied to the other leasing facilitie~ in the area; and that
the CommiE.aion did not want cara brought in for eale or e.~rage in the subject area.

ndvisect Chat additi.onil dedicaeion on tiror~dway at the sub~oct l.ocntion was unneceseary
e~ince thF City had d~~cerwined ir. wae no~ needed.
Chairmetn Herbst note3 that one of ChP concerne of l•he (7ammisRi.on was the exposure of the
propased atructure c~n ~he corner which would block Che view for tha heavy tz'af.fic in ttie

requesting ta en~o~,~ thoae privileger~ granted for Che televlr-ion repair facility acroes the

would preclude know:ing thot there e~~er wae a residential b~~ildi.ng flt Chis location; and he
was sure tha Comu::Aaion was aware of rhe present poor coiiditi.on of r.he aub~c~ct property.
Chairman Herb~t noted that the ad~ac~nt televieton r~pai.r fac:Lllty Was in exiaCc~nc~ wtten
Braadway was widened and~ in his opinion, that wne not f- good arguraPnt tu all~w another

Cammiesioner 'Totar expreRSed cuncern regnrding Cha tra~fic aC State College and Broad~way

Mies Santalahti claX;fied for ttie Commiesion that: ~he z~to ro one-foot aethac.k abutting an
arterial highway wns based on dedication UeLng xakeii along Broadway, however, at certain
pointa Che nddition would ntill be+ set back 5 feet wf.thoiit making dedicar.ion and the waiver
would still be necessary.
Mr. Stanley reviewed t.he a~cvss tr, the propert•y an~~ stated he fPlt it: the Pl~nning Commis-
slon would check tlie :irea t:he,~ would find that. the obetrucCion would be very minor aince
there ~ae no ~ray the vtaion to ttie west could be nbsCrucCed; and that, in hia opinton~ tha
plari was acceptable.
Cocamis3ioner 'folar then noced thaC etie view to the norCh leavinR Broadway would be
obetruc:ted by thr~ propoved 1ev~lopuient, and Mr. Stnnley took ex.~ption etating that the
requir.ed setbacks hac~ bezn provi.ded on State Crllege.
Commiasionp.r .Tul~nbo•n noted that thera were a1~ ays problema when a large development ~as
attempted on a emall 1ot.
Cha~lrme-n Herbst noted tliat with the petiti.on:sr ~aining back the 5 feet for dedication on
Broadway, there was still a probler~; that cc.iaideration should be given to r3xfeCy and if e
hardahip was being crsated £or the petition~:r; thr~t, in h'ia opininn, the only hardsh~p was
due to the proposed overdevel~g~e~r nf the property and, therefore, there wae no ~usti.fica-
tion for the variances £rom the minimum se~:backa.
It wae noted that the Director ef Developient Services had deter.mined that the proposed
activity fell within tt~e defi.nition of Se.ction 3.01, Clasa 5 of the City of Anaheim Guide-
lines to the Requirementa for an Environrnental Impact Report and was, therefor.e, caCegorl.-
cally exempt from =he requirement to f•llp an EIR.

to granL pettt~.on for Condit:lonal Use Permit No. 2628, in part, denying waiver af the
minimum building setbACk abutCing an. arterial highway on the basis triat ler~s than a 10-
foat s~tback from an arterial highway would obatruct the view for the traffic and partic---
larly at the subJect intersection and, further, that approval of esid waiver. would set a

£ull 1n th~ mLnutes.
Tt was noted thnC revise~ tracC maps ha~ been submitted to Staff. on Auguat 15~ 1974y and
Staff had not had ample time to t~naly z e end ~-r.apar.e an ndequate St~ff R~p~rt; and that,
additionally, LhEre were aPVeral prob lems which had nut been re.solved, th~refore, SCaff
wae recommending that this item be continued.
Chalrman Herbat noted thAt due to the notur.e of the proposal, tne Co~mniseion wauld like tu
i~:~~e input aC th s meel•ing with the undersxanding that the mc~tter wovld be continued eo
that the in£ormation obt~ined could b e an aid ro the Planning Commisaior- in their ob~ective
t•eview of the eite in the field.
Mr. W111iam D. I.usk~ Frasident, John D. Luak & Son, nppc:ared bef.ore the Coiamieeian and
atipu'lated tha~ he would agree to a c.ontinuance for r.onai~!~~rtion of the aub~ect tracta;
tl~at t~e would t:-ke c~xception to par.agraph 14 on page 8-c of the Staff Report, eince the
developer was Froposi.ng to conatruct sto;m draine and the indication that thE 1'~:l slopea
would cause a continual maintenance p roblem was not a true statement; that care had been
taken in the planting of the banks ir. their other developm~nts in the Peralta Hill~ are~
and that said banks would definirely b~ maintained by a mandatory homeowners as~•-~ciatlon.
Mr. Brian Bittke, 372 Peralta H111s Prive, Preaident of the PPra]•ta Hi?.ls Homeownere
Aesociation, appeared before the Commiasion in opposition to su'a~ect tracta and stated
they had su~mitted a].etter in oppos i tion end chat an on-site inspection of the area aad
the proposed site would be inval.uabl e because of the magnitucie of the propoaed develop-
ment and 4ince the sub~ect developer had a development underway at the pre.aent time to
the west of the sub~ect property; that the homeowners had had fine and meaningful coapera-
tion with the Luak Compuny; that the homeowners understood that the developer was FrO=°~fit
ing a tr.act o£ thia eize in order to maximize the utiliuation of the land and l-heir P
with the marketability of larger tracle; that the homeowners felt Chere were alternittves
ta the proposal and ttie proposal, a s presented, was unanimously opposed by the l-omeowners
group; ~nd that lt was ~inderstood that development would occur but iC f>hould be mors
reasonable and shoul.d not infringe on the exieting homeownera.
t4r. Aittke conti..ued by r.eviewing the environment~l impact that would take place, being
the change in th~ wind and airflow f or th~ properti.e~ below the banks, ttie reduced smount
of s~nahine in the mc:nings and even ings, the frost poc{:etg thttt would be created and
whtch would ~ffcct the avocado and orange groves on the neighboring properties, destruc-
tion of the natural bexutys tt~at presently existed and which ^.uuld n~t be replaced wi[h
the propoaed landscapin~, and there would be an infringer..n:. on the privacy af the dowtt-
atream properCies and some of the pr opertiee would have 'i~eaks on three ~ides ~f them. He
stated that when the Parall•a Hills r eaidenta purchased their ho+nea they did aot feel they
were buying in a fiahbowl, however, their privacy woul~ ~~ gone if the pr~posed develop-
~ment was allowed to be constructed; that there was ~.oncern f~~r the eafety, which should be
a major conaideration, for the down stream properti~ during heavy rains or if someone left
their wxter turned on for a long pe riod of time, cr~ating slide conditiona. Mr. Bittke
conclud ' by atating the homeownzr s would be happy to accompany the Planning Cammission on
their ~n-site inspection of the subj ect area and site and asaiet in any way poseible.
Mt. Roland i:r~eger~ 561 Peralta Hills Brive, appeared before the Covnnission in opposition

and the devel~per would l.ike tc wor.k with Choae reaidenta in the ^re,a to try to resolve

the intent of the City Council and Planning Camm-ission was tc retuin som.e of the ~~~aion

Mr. Luak referred to thei.r Marywood development in Orange and stated they wuuld li:~e to

There being no oppoeitiur~ to the subject Code Aiuondment, TI~E I'lIB'.IC kiEARINC WAS CT.OSI:D.
Chnirman Herbst noted that he would like to seP the Planning Commisaion go forward on Che
baais ~f. permitting R.P.U.D.' a by right ruther than by C,L~,P. with thc~ requeat that the
Commiesion have liie opportunity Co rev~.ew the naw procedura to see. if it wae w~rking;
Chat~ i.n hi~ oplnion, thie would reduce the number of public h~nringe before the Cammis-
s~ion, unleas th~ ftM-4000 wae too z.;-trictive and varisnces reeuited.
Thereup~n, Mr. Mc~aniel noted that the pr~~poeals could Ue submi.tted to the Planning
Commiesion under the "Reporte and Racoaunendations" section uE thei.r asenda if Che Commis-
sion desired to review the pro~ecta; however, the infl.uence of th~ f,ommiaeion uncler thie
procedure would be limited eince it would eimPly be a review, unleae the ordinance was
amended ngain; and that the Comm-laeion would not have the opportuniCy to revise nny of the
plans beicig raviewed in rli~.s manner.
2oning Supervieor Charles Roberta nAted for Che Commiseion thuC it was ~nmetimes difficult
to r.egain a procedure once it was given up; that there nppeared Co be some concern that if
thc: new RM-4000 7,one was not effecCi.~e, the Commi~seion would want to retain somF~ hind of
review powera for the Ci.me being. He offered a suggeation Chat pertiaps l•he Comniaeton
would want to require a C.U.P. for a period of ti.me to have eufficient time to a`e ~!f ttie
new zone wan effective and r_hen the Cummiadion could give up the C,U.P. requirement at
that time.
DepuCy City ACtorney Frank Lowry conc~trred in Mr. Roberte' suggestion to the Coamnission.
Aasiatant Cavelopment Services Director Ronald Thompaon noted for the Commiasion thi~t an;,
new projects requcating RM-4000 zoning would be ~reviewEd by thc Commiasion; tha~ there
were very few projects in trie City that would neet th~ RM-4000 standarda and the Ccrnantsaion
could therefore ant~icipate very few converslnns of existing apartments; that the conve:.atu•,.~
would have such a drastic effecl because or the parking, open space, etc.y that those
exieting unito would probably have to be removed or the developer would have to req~esL• a
variRnca; that aince there was no property zoned RM-4000 aC the present tim~, the (:~mmi4eion
would have an ~pportunity ta review plans, if past practices were followed and, thecef. :e,
the Commission would not be gaining anythin$ by retainin• ti~c ~.U.Y. praceas; and that
permit~ing the R.P.U.U. by right would cut down on red t,.~, ir~ his opinion,
Chairroan HerbAt reiterated that he wouJ.d 'J lke to `. ~ ~tile to revi.:w thce pro~ecte until. he
was eure thaC the new ordinance ~:~:.d e: ~~~t!ve, and Mr. Thompson tti~n noted that the CoL~m9.sei.on
would be able to moni tor th~ ..•onveraion ~ thrott~h the procedure recummended by Mr . McD~aniel.
tn response to queationi;~g by (:ommisaione~~• Morley, (:`~:~irman HerbsC noted that, in his
opinion, under [he C.U.P, the Commiasion woLld [~3've some control and laCer on the proceclure
could be changed if things were going properly.
Mr. Roberts clarif ied for the Commisaion that hia ear.lier at~tements witii respect to the
sub~ect matter were not meanC to be contradictive or a circumvention of Mr. McDaniel's
reco~mend.~tion, but that he was pro~ecting aome ideas which the Commisaion cou].d consider
as poasi.bilities,
Mr. McDaniel explained Chat the purpose of the new RM-40U0 Zone wae to pxeclude the neces-
sity for P.U.A.'s caming to the Flanning Commiaeion routinely, therefore, lightening the
laad of that body; however, he was not opposed to retaining the C.U.P. pro~~dure for

alkhough Che CRC was not oppoaed to the addiCiort~ ther~ wsa same cuncein expt'eeaed regard-
ing the landacaping and aesthatice of tho pro~ect, however~ the ma;joris.y af the CRC
Commiesionere Eelt i.t would be appropriate t~ allow Che appllcunt to proceed; thac during

City pHYk~ etc., there would be two emaller driv~ways at eittzer end of the 10-foat wall;
that the 1Q-foot wall would screen the londing d~ak between the two drives; and that the
propoaed addttion would eliminate the existing parking on the north side of the buildin~Z.
Commiasioner Gauer entered into discuasion with Mr. B:L11 Mitchell, representative of ttia
Pacific Telpehone Company~ during which Mr. Mitchell indicaCed there were presently 127
parking spaces; that there would be a temporary loc~a of appr.oximately 27 parking spa.cea
during the cunstructi.on p~riod; that the addi.tional nine atories were not anticipated
until. about the year 2050, if ever, arid that the nine atoriea wauld not be off.icea but
for equipment; and that they were in tha procees of obtaining permanent par~tng to take
the place of the spaces currently being rented from the City.
Chairman Herbat noted that, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with the proposal;
t~owever, it appeared rhat any other applicant woLld be required to apply for ~ variance
from the Code for the proposal which could prob~b].y be granted subject to certain condi-
Cions; Chat, looking into Che future, a~metimes buildings reverted to other type uaes;
that although it had been the City's policy to help the Telephone Company with parking
for their emplayees~ the situation appsared to be perpetuar.ing itaelf and he had reser-
vatio:-s regarding the manner in wl~ich the pa'oposal was bei.n~ handl.ed since a variance
shauld be required.
Mr. Roberta noted for the Commiasion that the Code did require that a certain number of
r:iKing apaces be provided, either on the aite or within a reasonable dista•~ce from the
site, and that the Te~ephone Gom~+any hmd entered into an agreement to con'.Ysct for rental
af parking space for a three-year period.
In reaponse to questioning by C~mmisaion~r Gauer, Deputy City Attorney Fran'c Lowry adviaed
thnt the zeport from the Cit} Mauuger's office indicated that the spaces fo~ the rer~tal
indicated by Mr. Roberts were lightly used and the loss of 100 municipal parking spaces
would have very little effect on th~t baeis.
In reaponse to queationing by Chairman He st, Mr. Roberts advised that no consideration
had been given to parking for the potenttal nine addi*onal atories; but SCaff wanted to
make the Planning Commisaion aware of the poCential expaneion.
Mr. Mitchel.l ti-en stated that they did not foresee thst the 10 st~ries would ever be at
the subject location; that thA;~ had taken thoae precautions with reepect to the founda-
tiona because they had been ~aught a few times with seiemic pioblems; that they did not
want thF. potential expanaion to concern the Commiasion aince if that expansion at-ould
occur in the futuxe, a proposal for it would have to stand nn its own merit; and that the
parkin~ agreement with the City was on an interi~ basis.
