R-39 MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIALo
Mro Robert Balen appeared before the Commission and stated that this pro- ~
posal was before the Commission for R-3 because it was felt that due to the i
width of the parcel, if developed I2-1 it woulc! result in ext:•a large lots. ~
Th2 floor plans for the proposed apartments would include sa~me thsee-bedroan ~
units, which were rarely fAUnd in the City. He pointed out that the s#reet
outlet had been changed so traff3c would not flow into New Avenue, and added
that the Placentia Avenue frantage was zor:ed G 1. Alr. Halen stated that ~
fencing was already provided; there was a six foot block xall on the North,

the Assooiation was comprised of 300 home owners located in the general j

RECLASSIFICATION - 1. Parking was a serious problemo
NOe F-60-61-15 2. R-3 would impose more of a traffic burden on Placentia Avenueo
(Continued) 3o Greater pol3ce and fire protection was needod for apartments than for
single family ereaso
4o R-3 would be a detriment to the health9 safety and welfare of the
citizens of the areao
Mre July added that ther.e were over 79000 apartments existing which had
been built in the City slnce 1950, and approximately 35% of them were
vacant9 indicating that there was no shortage of multiple family dwellingso
He referred to a Planning Commission "Community Survey Report9" and
stated that the situation on the sub~ect property was not unusual9 not un-
fair, and no hards!:lp eas ~nvolved; therefore he recommended that the City
sustain the Association°s positiane .
Mro Ralph Swingholm, 310 New Avenue, appeared before the Commission and
noted that rezoning application from R-1 to R-3 had previously been con-
sidered on the sub~ect property; and he added ~hat he had children
playing in the vicinity, and he ob~ected t~ traffic hazards and the
increase in densityo
Mr, G. Oa Runs«old of Blanchard A~~enue appeared before the Commission
and stated he was in comple~~ agreement with all statements which had been
made in opposition to this reclassificatior.o He added his opinion that
the noise created by such a development would be a r.uisanceo He cited
the lack of City Park facilities for children, and also he felt that there
was more than enou9h R-3 Zoning already i~: existenceo
Mro Frank Mason of 403 South Redwood Drive appeared before the Commission
and stated that the plans for the proposed development called for four
families on each lot, with garages in the rearo Due to the elevation of
his property, a six foot fence on the sub3ect property would seem like a
three foot fence from his yardo He felt the alleys would become °race
tracks" and that refuse would be thrown into the yards and swimming
pools on the property along South Redwood Drivee
Chairm~n Gauer asked Mr„ Balen if he wished to make reply to any of the
opposition; hoeve~ery he replied he had no further statement ta makeo

ment such as thiy was desirable to take care of the new uses and developments
coming up from day to day which are not specifically listed in any portion of

for processing an item the first time9 and that consideration could be given

clause of the Cods which also could be used for this purposeo Mre Reese

fore thi~ amendment appeared to be necessaryo Chairman Gauer pointed out

' He added that on the property noted as "Not a Part of" on the tract map,
- the awners did not want to dedicate any of their property for street widening;
~ therefore, the developers were willing to put up a cash deposit on that portion
i of the property fox street widening9 in addition to their bond for the
; remainder of the propertyo
