idHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, investigation'y and study made by
itself and in its behaif, and after due conai3eration of all evidence and reports offered

(1) Setback dimensions gi~~en in Chapter 18.84 correspond to the dimensions
of the ultimate right-of-way widths for streeta listed within the chap-
Cer as meas~red from the monumented centerline. Therefore, if Chapter
Y8.84 were to be literally interpreted, buildings could be located ad-
jacent to the right-of.-way of the liste3 streets without setback.
(2) Building line aetbacks for all pr.opertiea adjacent to the streets listed
Ln Chapter 18.84 are provided for in the site development standards of
the underlying zones of the affected properCies.
(3) Cha~cer 18.84 was adopted Decembcr 12, 1950 (Ord. 772) (prior to the
adoption of the CircuTation Element o£ the General Plan) as a means of
preventing development from encroaching 3nto ultimate street rights-of-
way.
(4) A Circulation Element for the General Plen was subsequently adopted
June 18, 1960 (Res. 611). However, Chapter 18.84 was not rep~:aled con-
current wikh the adoption of the Cirenlation Element as several of the
streets listed in Chapter 18.84 were classified as either local or local
collector streets ana, as such, were not included in the Circulation
Elemer.t.
(5) In the intervening ye9rs since the adoption of the Circulation Element,
the street classification eystem has been continually "upgraded", and
on October 30, ].973, the City Counc3l adopted Resolution No. 73R-50o in
ccnjunetion with the appraval of General Plan Amendment No. 129; said
C.eneral Plan Amendment consisting of a map and text of all propo9ed and
previous amendments and changes *_o the G•.. 'ilation Element of the General
P1an and the ulCimate right-of-way widths ror all streets listed in Chap-
her Y8.84, thereby negating the reasone for retention of said chapter,
