Reverend McKean, representing the Pentecostal Church, listed approximately eight developments, including the site around the southwest corner of Hopyard Road and Las Positas Boulevard, that either had no property reserved for church sites or else the cost of such property was priced for beyond the means of his church. In answer to Mayor Gerton's question, Reverend McKean stated that the list of conditions the City would impose upon the Pentecostal Church should the appeal be granted, were reasonable and could be adhered to. Councilmen Beratlis, Reid and Spiliotopoulos stated their reasons for not being in favor of granting the Use Permit, namely; traffic, noise, and the imme- diate proximity to residences. Mayor Getton stated that he did not think these were legitimate reasons for denying a church with meanial funds to establish a place to worship. After considerable discussion, it was moved by Councilman Spiliotopoulos and seconded by Councilman Beratlis that Resolution No. 69-46, denying the appeal of the Pentecostal Church, be adopted.
