width of the property and the way the building is to be located, it was felt by the department that the proposed plan Leaves a lot to be desired in terms of distance to the adjacent properties, parking and proposed building location. The Planning Director feels that once the City is committed to an RM- District, arguments for this type or even a higher use will be inevitable. Mr. Castro further feels that the parking requirements would further make the site incompatible with the surrounding community especially the propertiea.~.- facing on Pico Avenue and that once this RM- zoning is approved, there will be no way to revert to a lower density zoning. Denial is recommended. The Planning Director further stated that if the property adjacent to the applied- for site fronting on Pico Avenue was also part of the property, then there would be more merit to the application, but as it now stands, there is no hope to retain the area in a R-1 zoning, consequently, denial is recommended by the Planning staff. Mr. Ed Wendschlag, representing Mrs. Johnson, offered a few comments. He wondered how the Commission would feel if a buffer strip was placed between the proposed site and the edge of the residential properties, thereby separat- ing the residential area from his hospital. He stated that he had an option on the property fronting on Pico which lay adjacent to the hospital site and was planning to develop the entire area. There was considerable discussion on this item. Mr. Castro felt that with a revised plot plan to go on and if the applicant is planning to purchase the adjacent property fronting on Pico Avenue, that perhaps under those circumstances, the Planning Commission might reconsider his proposal. It was decided that the applicant come back within two weeks to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission with his new proposal. Upon motion of Chairman Antonini, seconded by Commissioner Plato, and carried, the Public Hearing was closed. UPON MOTION OF CHAIRMAN ANTONINI, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER ARNOLD, THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED. RESOLUTION N0. 821 WHEREAS, application of Dorothy N.
