The new applicants are making every effort to erect a new building. Commissioner Plato teco~ended the vacant lot between the Starting Gate and the Field's Furniture Store on Rose Avenue. Mr. Castro presented and explained the new circulation plan, which would divert the route from St. Augustine and Rose Streets, because of its narrowness. Mr. Castro and Mr. Campbell both stated that the City can only suggest possible sites and routes for the bus depot, but Commissioner Plato feels it violages zoning ordinance because of the necessity of loading or unloading zones. Mr. Castro still maintained that the Commission should basically approve the location proposed by Mr. Mark Gerton for the bus depot on a temporary basis with the condition that final approval would have to come when Mr. Young submits his plane for the new building. Mr. Castro further stated that plans are being worked on by the architects. The zoning permit can take care of this until something concrete is submitted. The Planning Department feels this zoning permit should be granted subject to the bus route as revised. Mr. Gerton was presented with this revised suggested routing. RESOLUTION N0. 796 WHEREAS, Application to allow an existing small house to be remodeled to operate a travel service office and also temporary permission to operate the Greyhound Agency from the hobby shop (or trailer) at the property known as 459 Main Street, has come before this Commission, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, 1. that the granting of this permit is of an emergency measure for six months subject to the use being located in the hobby shop with the street circulation as recommended by the Planning and Public Works Departments. During this time, the owners ' of the props rty will come back to the Planning Commission with more suitable plane fora more permanent approval of said zoning permit. b. Z-68-47. Amador Shoovins Center Application for permit to construct Building "D" on said property of Amador Center on Santa Rita and Valley Avenue, with accompanying land- scaping and parking facilities. There was general discussion of architecture and type of commercial facilities that the area will contain. Commissioner Plato feels that the periphery of the property needs to be buffered and landscaped. The Planning Director advised the Commission that the rear property lines are currently landscaped. The Commisslon felt this item was referred to the Planning Commission very late, hence there was insufficient time to make a thorough study of the property. Commissioner Plato feels a master plan should be presented and the future individual businesses be incorporated into the Plan as they are envisioned. However, it was pointed out that the applicant, who is reaponslble for the development, requested a decision from the Commission at this time. Commissioner Plato moved and seconded that no decision be made at this time until there was an opportunity for a further study. Commissioner Gibbs opposed this decision. 7. COMMUNICATIONS a.
