A memo was received from the Planning Commission,
which stated that based upon the analysis and statements
at their public hearing, the Commission recommended
that the requested zone change be denied because
in effect this would be "spot zoning". Further, the
character of zoning on the south side of Gladstone
Street, near to the property in question, is: M-1,
C-3 and R -3a; this fact in itself does not justify
the changing of the residential dwelling density because
a vacant lot exists within a continuous R -lc residential
zone.
Fred Perz, 125 S. Azusa Avenue, addressed Council,
stating he wishes to build 4 apartments on his property,
with garages in the rear; also, he wants to place his
house on the property and would like R-3 zoning. He
submitted a sketch of his plan.
Elmer Eichhorn, 727 W. Gladstone Street, addressed
Council, stating he is in opposition, due to the
present vacancy factor in apartments.
Anthony M. Ortuno, 346 N. Azusa Avenue, appeared
before Council and stated he is in opposition to
apartments in that area, which has mostly single dwellings.
No further communications having been received and no
one else in the audience wishing to speak regarding this
matter, it was
Moved by Councilman Jackson, seconded by Councilman McLees
and unanimously carried to close the hearing.

and unanimously carried by roll call that the recommendation
of the Planning Commission be accepted and the appeal

The Planning Commission submitted a memo, recommending
the annexation of 24 acres located at 17739 E. Sierra
Madre Avenue, owned by Mark and Mary Fisher. It stated
also that the owners of the land erred in their request
for "R -3b" zoning as they had intended utilizing the
property for Garden Apartments (R -Ga zone). It was the
consensus of the Planning Commission that it would be
highly desirable to initiate annexation proceedings for
the 2.25 acres adjacent to the E1 Dorado Highlands sub-
division on Sierra Madre Avenue and across from Pioneer
Park.
Mark Fisher, 1623 E. Merced, West Covina, addressed
Council, stating he would like R -GA zoning. He explained
he owns several apartments in the area and there is no
vacancy factor in his buildings. He further stated he
would like to have this property annexed regardless of
zoning.
Moved by Councilman Cooney to table this matter until the
3/1/65 meeting. Motion died for lack of a second.
