ficient time to circulate a petitia:a asking for a change of zo,ie from

Is not used for R-I purposes even ti4o{Agh ic4ied so. He urged approval
of this request.
Mr. Alfred C. Gmmn, 224 Strand, Hermosa beach& said that he was .sot
opposing application, but agreed with statemnts In ,previous minutes
that a zone change should be initiated. He would like to a,i@.arge his

Public hearing closed at 803 P.M.
Coe„ ale wished to knee what the legal ranif!cations would be If
Co mission granted varla.ace request. The Planning Director expla8-aed
that none would occur If greating was raot chalkmged; however if it
were chal le aged. there could be problem since the variance request
had not bee+3 justified. he suggested Initiating a zons change In
the area.
Com. Armor stated that in I9,56 this zone was rhenged from R-2 to R-1.
Perhaps 1t would be wlsa to see how people In this area feel about
R-2 zoning verses R-1.
Cam. Stabler stated that since the 1956 zone change, property has
been going toward R-1. He would be for grantl% a variance. but would
not like to sea a zone change passe4. We have resident ownership In
this Rat zone and R-1 ownership Is better for a ccoRmity than R-2.
He would be for gra,iting this varlaracee but could raot sere any legal
way to do It.
Cerra. Collis stated that he would 1 i ke to see the Commission not i f y
property owners of possible rezoning of this area. He did not feel
gra,ating a variance was the answer.
Coma. Noble said he would be In favor of eNR, variance if the Ca Isslon
would be willing to start zo ae amendment proceedlogs.
Cameo Stabler felt Pere would be a problem vii th parking In this area
If the zon i n9 were changed. A zone eha;age� should be ups i dered with
all the ramifications which slight occur. Only 20 percent of the pro-
perty owners In this area ;air have adequate parking to support R-2
zoning.
