with four o~ five parallel parking spsces which would provide some p~otection.

there is an~le room in the ~ear and they feel it would be aesthetically pleasing to
have the parking in the rcar; (2) the 3-1/2 foot high wall (n front because it would
do ltttle to redute noise snd a si~foot high wa11 would help mittgate the noise and
help preserve the ~esidentia) character of the nsighborhood and protect them from

Commtsston~r Herbat clarifled that Mr. Pinto owns the vacant lot to the west and th~t
he hed prevf~usiy requested a bar and night.club and had indicated then that thts
property would act as a buffer for the residenttal use. He stated he is drasticalty
opposed to any further entroachnrent of comnercial usns into the residential area. He
stated if this request is granted~ there w(il be furthe~ requests; that there is a
lot of surplus ccxnner~tal land in Anahelm~ but very ltttle restdentlel property where
law cost housing cen be devcloped. Ne felt commerciai zoning is wrong for this area
and felt it should rematn residential.
Chairman Tolar agreed and stated he couid not support cormmerctal zoning and nated
that suggestion was previously made to Mr. Pinto.
Cammissioner Ilerbst suggested an Area Devclopment Plan for Lhis erea ta determine

Commissioner Bushore did not think an Area Development Plan Is necessary beceuge the

that it is possible a different configuration would ptrmit residential uses and that
a oontinuance would be necessary to analyxe differe~t tdeas.
Cha~irman Tolar felt the biggest problem ts ingress and egress onto a residentiat
