M_!yor Coco opened the public portion of the hearing at 7:40 P.M. and stated that since the Council has a con- siderable amount of detail he would request that remarks be confined to those which have not been made previously. ~Mr. G. L. Lewis, 550 E. Chapman, Orange, applicant, asked if the Council had received his revised proposed conditions. He said these revised plans called for 2 parking spaces per unit and revised the original plan of 20 units to 19 units. Me said he was in complete agreement with the Architectural Committee's controls and desired to create a much better than .. average apar~nent development. _Mayor Coco_ advised Mr. Lewis that the Couhcil did not have the revised plans. .I,ren_e Martin_, 135 Mountain View, owner of Martin's Trailer Park, stated that the area just could not take any more cars. She said they furnish all the parking spaces they possibly can in their trailer park and they have 4 of the tenants parking in front of their house; that they have about 35 parking spaces and 28 trailer spaces.

This trailer park is a prior nonconforming use. ~ouncilman Marsters, in commenting on the parking spaces for the trailer park, questioned if the applicant should be penalized for someone else's parking problems. Councilman Miller felt the major point is whether or not the R-3 standard is the standard to be applied for develop- ment in this part of the City. There ar-e inherent problems with the density in relationship to the neighboring property, the width of the street, etc. Before any applicant is con- sidered for this piece of property or any piece of properby within the older part of ~own, we have to have a different s~andard. Moved by Miller~ seconded by Klingelhofer that the Planning Commission's denial of this application, Zone Change 68-183 from the R-1 (Single Family Residential) District to the R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) District, be upheld.

S~pin_p_g~l stated as soon as the staff is told what kind of standards are wanted for the area, an ordinance could be worked up in a matter of days. He stated he felt that public hearings should be held relative to changing the General Plan to give the people in the area and the whole City an opportunity to com~nent on how they want the area to be developed. ~ayor Coco commented that at least now positive steps are being taken towards getting the information needed and should be forthcoming within 6, 7 or 8 months. He further stated that the whole area has got to be con- sidered in light of the General Plan and the amended General Plan as a result of this study. Motion to deny ZC-68-183 carried unanimously. 2.

He requested that the Mayor ask the City Administrator to discuss this with the City Engineer and return to the next Council meeting with his reconm~endations. M__r.Juentin Flemir.~l, Parks and Recreation Cor~nissioner, requested that the resolution be approved with the stipulation of 5' widths instead of 4' and grass instead of Juniper.
