RECLASSIFICATION F-5~-55-!!, submitted petition by property owners along the East side of South Los Angeles street from East Vermont Avenue south to the present commercial zone ~th on Ball Road to be rezoned from R-A and R-3 to commercial purposes. Thei ~ity Planning Commission, pursuant to their Res- olution No. 45, recommend~ said reclassification be denied and outlined ~heir reasons therefore. Communications ~om W. I. /ingley appealing the action of the City Planning Commission was s~mitted and read. Petition containing 23 signatures in opposition to the gran~ng of said Reclassification was submitted. Mr. Lewis Taylor, 941 South Claudina street addresed the Council stating that at the present time they were being surrounded by commercial and light Industrial Zones, and he felt that this rezoning woul~ be depriving some 819 Ci.ty Hail, Anaheim, Cali{grnia,, November. 23, 1954 · 8:00 P.M. of the pleasures of living in Anaheim. This would effect only three lots. BURROUGHS: Ihe whole West side has been rezoned for business and part of the East Side for business. He stated that they would not like to look into business and still be kept residential. DoCtor Burroughs stated that this. rezoning would effect more than three lots, it wo~ld effect ten, and that this area was dev- eloped before the parking and zonim~ Ordinance was passed. He could not see any reasons for not allowing this t~ be business. He did not believe it would create very much more traffice in %he area ~hsn they have a% the present tim~, Mayor Pearson asked, "Wha~ depZh was the request for?" Mr. Mungall answered, "About 150 feet deep". It was asked from %he audience if Los Angeles street is to be widened any more on the East side. Answer~ no. N~. FLYNN stated he had no objection to the waiving of the P-L Zoning on the East side of the street provid~mg they waived it on the West side of %he street. That if i% was waived on ~me side and not on the other it would be discrimination. LEWIS HOSKINS, owner of one of the properties invoived,.and living there app- roximately 30 years. He stated, tRat he did not believe the Highway would be widen~d~s traffics+ is less now tha%iManchester Avenue was put im~ He further stated, all along they have nice h~es and that they try' to keep that area Single Residential Zones. Facing Om South Los Angeles street, the Council had allowed multiple units north of his home, bringing with it parking on the highway~ something which we did no% have before. There are multiple units north of his residence to Vermont~ Dusiness across the street and below him. Therefore~ we could not keep it a Single Residential area. Now it will have to become Commercial, and he felt ~e were entitled to Commercial Zoning. MR. ~LYNN: He stated he appealed a~d mpposed any multiple dwellings and the reason whymul%iple dwellings were passed and approved was the fact that there were already multiple dwellings started on that side of the street. Therefore, multiple dwellings had been granted in that area, and they are responsible for them coming into that area. Mayor Pearson suggested ~hey have the same B~rchitec%ural Committee as required across the street. Th~he asked would they be willing to wait until they had a deal before asking fbr rezoning. DOCTOR BURROUGHS stated that he thgught,~ the whole thing should be rezoned at this time even though they have no~ p&~ticular use for it. N~. NR3RDOCH stated the existing buildings along that area have front-yard set- backs from 15 to 25 feet. That ar4a presently would comply with the P-L Zone. As he did not know of any restrictions in the Ordinance to the effect that the zone need be 60 feet in depth, it could be of a depth which is commensurate with the present buildings. Then the Pa~king Areas could be at the rear of the property and the existing buildings could cQntinu~ in use. ~R. FLYNN felt nothing should be d~ne on this matter until they determine what business is going in there. He felt that other property below him could come in and ask for %he same zoning and if the property should pass in other hands on a C-1 zoning, the Council would have no way to govern the type of business estab- lished . RESOLUIION NO. 2584; Councilman Van ~agoner moved that Resolution No. 2584 be passed and adopted changing %he iZone to C-1 with a P-L zone and also that an Archtectural Co,~mittee be establishe the same as across the street using if possible the same committee and ~.~urther, that Deed Restrictions be established.
