Mr. Castro read the Department's report, which is as follows: "Aa the Commission will note from the plot plan attached to your report, the property in question is located approximately in the center of the block between Abbie and Angela Streets with frontage on t4hird Street. In reviewing the applicant's request, this Department conducted a survey of the existing uses in the specific area and its surrounding neighbor- hoods. It was learned that the area. is primarily single-family residences with a considerable amount of multiple spot zoning. There is a mixture of well-kept older residences and rather dilapidated residences that will eventually require some redevelopment." Mr. Castro further presented an exhibit describing the existing land use of the immediate area. Further, a small street plan was presented showing the locations where multiple uses already exist. Mr. Castro also read a letter from homeowners in the area who were objecting to the multiple zoning. A specific gentleman who objected was: Mr. Harold Christian at 320 Abbie. Mr. Christian stated that he lives almost directly across the street from the subject application. These homeowners were shown zoning map and multiple zoning areas were pointed out to them to make them aware of the situation on the street where their properties are located.
