GP-78-3, John Amaral - application for a general plan amendment from High <br />Density Residential to Commercial and Offices for the property located <br />at 4'04 St. Marys Street (southwest corner of the intersection of St. Marys <br />Street and Peters Avenue). <br />Secretary Harris described the staff report recommending denial of the <br />subject application. He stated the staff has received six letters in <br />support of the application and two phone calls from St. Marys Street resi- <br />dents opposed to the application. <br />The Public Hearing was opened. <br />Jack Bras, architect, spoke representing the applicant, John Amaral. He <br />requested Peters Street not be an immovable zoning line, the dwelling on <br />the subject property is in disrepair, and no land is available in the down- <br />town area for this proposed use. He added he would like a continuation <br />for study and review of what is happening in the downtown area, i.e., an <br />inventory of land available. If this is spot zoning, perhaps all of Peters <br />Street should be considered for rezoning. He stated further that down- <br />town parcels under individual ownership cannot compete with professional <br />ownership. <br />Harry Spiliotopoulos, who owns property behind 404 St. Marys Street spoke <br />in favor of the application. <br />Merton Murray, 210 East Angela Street, stated his mother owns property next <br />door on St. Marys Street, and he recommends rezoning of entire Peters Street. <br />Alice Moore, 431 St. Marys Street, spoke in opposition as she was not in <br />favor of spot zoning because people will start selling out and taxes will <br />increase. <br />William Kovac, 7124 Weymouth Court, spoke in opposition to general plan <br />amendment and spot zoning. <br />The Public Hearing was closed. <br />Resolution No. 1667 was entered and adopted recommending denial of GP-78-3. <br />Roll Call Vote <br />Resolution: Geppert <br />Seconded: Doherty <br />Ayes: Geppert, Doherty <br />Noes: Wilson <br />Absent: Getty, Jamieson <br />Abstain: None <br />RZ-78-9, Planning Commission - initiation of a rezoning and application <br />to rezone the approximately 2-1/3 acre site located on the west side of <br />Foothill Road from the HPD (Hillside Planned Development) District to the <br />R-1-40,000 District. <br />Secretary Harris described the staff report recommending rezoning. <br />-6 - <br /> <br />
