<br />this meeting.
<br />Chairman Landoa opened the public hearing on the application of the Planning Com-
<br />mission to amend Articles 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of Ord. No. 309, in order to restrict
<br />or otherwise modify the location of auto service stations as permitted uaea,
<br />accessory uses, conditional uses, or prohibited uses. There being no comments from
<br />the floor, it was moved by Commissioner Antonini, seconded by Commissioner Lozano,
<br />and carried, that the public hearing be closed. Following consideration by the
<br />Commission, during which a consensus indicated that automobile service stations
<br />be placed as Conditional Uaes in C-N, C-C, C-T and C-G Districts, C1ty Attorney
<br />Struthers suggested a provision should be made giving the Commission the power to
<br />determine whether uaea within 500 ft. of proposed automobile service stations are
<br />compatible and whether the nature of a neighborhood warrants additional public
<br />service stations. After discussion by the Commission, upon motion of Chairman
<br />Landon, seconded by Commissioner Antonini, the following resolution was adopted by
<br />unanimous vote:
<br />RESOLUTION N0. 422
<br />RESOLVED:
<br />A public hearing having been duly held and no protest heard,
<br />the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the
<br />City Council amend Articles 11, 12 and 13 of Ordinance No.
<br />309, thereby removing automobile service stations ae Permitted
<br />Ueea and placing them ae Conditional Uees in C-N, C-C, C-T
<br />and C-G Districts.
<br />Upon inquiry of the Commission, Mr. Struthers stated that substantive changes in the
<br />Zoning Ordinance affect all included areas except property for which building per-
<br />mits have already been issued.
<br />Following further discussion, it was moved by Chairman Landon, seconded by Commiae-
<br />ioner Lozano, and carried, that a public hearing be set for May 26, 1965, at 8:00 F'
<br />to consider general revision of Permitted, Accessory and Conditional Ueee, Height,
<br />Area and other regulations in all Commercial zoning districts, as set forth in
<br />Articles 9 through 13, inclusive, of Ordinance No. 309.
<br />Chairman Landon read a letter dated March 25, 1965, which he received from James S.
<br />Rana, 401 Oak Lane, regarding the possible Western Pacific-Southern Pacific Railway
<br />track merger, and suggested use of the grade abandoned thereby as public park-
<br />bicycle path-walking path-equestrian trail facilities, and cited the Chesapeake and
<br />Ohio Canal near Washington, D.C. as an example of an abandoned route used similarly.
<br />Commissioner Johnston stated that the Railroad may not wish to sell the right-of-way
<br />in case of a national emergency in the future. Chaiman Landon and Mt. Campbell
<br />said they understood that the possible track merger would take place only within
<br />city limits.
