<br />Mr. Dudley Frost, representing the Chamber of Commerce, asked if this was the
<br />proper time to speak relative to the public hearings for the adoption of the
<br />new Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Spink noted that the continuance to October 4, 1967,
<br />of Items 4b, RZ-67-12 and Item 4c, RZ-67-13, application of D & V Builders
<br />and Stanford Holmgren, respectively, should be stated so that those people in
<br />the audience interested in these items could leave if they wished. There was
<br />some discussion as to the reason for the continuance by members of the audience,
<br />as they had received notification by mail of the public hearing. UPON THE MO'TI~I
<br />OF CCD4fISSIONER GARRIGAN, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER PLATO, IT WAS DECIDED TO
<br />CONTINUE RZ-67-12 and RZ-67-13 TO THE NEXT MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 1967.
<br />4a. RZ-67-11, planning Commission.
<br />Chairman Antonini opened the public hearing on RZ-67-11, the application of the
<br />Planning Commission to consider the adoption of a new Zoning Ordinance re-
<br />pealing Ordinance No. 309 and all amendments thereto and adopting zoning regu-
<br />lations controlling the uses of land; the density of population; Che bulk,
<br />location and uses of structures; the areas and dimensions of sites; and the
<br />appearance of certain uses, structures, and signs; requiring the
<br />provision of usable open space, screening and landscaping, and oft-street
<br />loading facilities; controlling the location, size and illumination of signs,
<br />providing for the amendment of district boundaries and the regulations; and
<br />providing for the administration and enforcement of the regulations. Mr. Dudley
<br />Frost expressed concern about the dates scheduled for public hearings, indicating
<br />there had been insufficient time to study the Ordinance and prepare comments and
<br />suggesstions. Mr. Frost stated he felt that more study seas ions would be bene-
<br />ficial for both the Planning Commission and the public. Mr. Frost indicated that
<br />the Chamber of Commerce at their last meeting had expressed concern that the
<br />public hearings were to be held without allowing sufficient time for study of
<br />Che proposed Ordinance. Mr. Spink stated that the public hearings had been
<br />scheduled to allow the Planning Commission to caaplete them by the end of the
<br />calendar year, as the Council wished to complete their hearings on the Ordinance
<br />before the end of the fiscal year. Mr. Spink stated the choices were; to pro-
<br />ceed as planned with the public hearings, or to extend the public hearings into
<br />the new year upon direction of the City Council. Mr. Spink noted that the
<br />Commission may wish to consider deferring the scheduled public hearings one
<br />week so that the new Planning Director could be present at the first session.
<br />Ted Fairfield, McKay and Somps, stated he felt there was a need for more study
<br />sessions so that their comments and suggestions could be more valuable; he noted
<br />there were incompatibilities in the Ordinance.
<br />Commissioner Plato questioned the way in which the public hearings would be
<br />handled. It was decided to discuss each session, continuing the public hearing,
<br />and no final action would be taken untilthe final meeting.

<br />At this time, Cy Beebe, Manager of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, introduced
<br />Leonard Strathouse, Planning Director of P. G. ~ E., whose concern was with
<br />Section 1.104, regarding electric transmission lines under conditional use
<br />permits. Mr. Spink stated he would prepare a staff report with the alternate
