Owners Association, 143322 Wistcr:i;'~ Lane, Tustin, prescntt'cd l:hrl Co,'.~missiot~
with a petition signed by 77 ho:np, owners in the vicini, ty oppo:;ing subject
application as stated below.
The undersigned ali. property owners of Enderlc Oar¢len,q in the City
of E~stin, California herel~y p'etil'ion thc City Planning Commission
to reject the request of rezoning ZC-68.-178 from R-1 to R-3.
All of us bare invested heavily in this area on thc basfs of R-1
zoning and the anticJpatfon of development under present zoning.
Thc proposed projected development would greatly increase t]ie density
of population v.'hic]~ %.:oul-d create conditions which would be unaccep-
table.
The proposed developn:ent is of such a nat:ute that: larger families
would ba the logical occupants. The proxLmity of propoacd buildings
does not provide a sufficient reasonable area in wldch ch~!drei~ can
play.
lncr£~aS'{mn[; heavy traffic o:! Yorba Strc, c,t, t:ogether x:ith the ct, tva' in
",' of increased bicycles creates a safety problcn,
thc street, ,..id use
all of which would be increased by high density dcve!op'.nent.
Present: sul)gtailtlial t)rop.::rty values in the area x:ould ol>viously bt:
~r,:medJ.at-c. ly decrea:;ed by the proposed develoi:::'.ent.
Again, we respeetful].y requ,.)st the rejection of t'hc zoning change
and urge retention of the present mast:er plan of zoni~:3.
Com:,ission effort:; in t'he past have helped to creat, e a de:nirabl.e
