ing parking lots north of Foothill Blvd., from Alameda to
San Gabriel Avenues, with four proposed plans for the
parking lot district. Councilman Rubio also read the
Downtown Study Committee Status Report.

the west side of the alley, showing commercial buildings
on the west side of Azusa Avenue, south of Foothill Blvd.,

The Planning Director also submitted a sketch for the
utilization of the 25' x 140' piece of property immediately
south of the Canyon City Hotel, for the purpose of con-
structing a small shopper's rest area.
The Committee members felt that the large parking lot
south of the Canyon City Hotel, on the east side of Azusa
Avenue, was being used by residents of the hotel and for
the storage and demolition of inoperative vehicles, and
suggested that a one-hour parking restriction be imposed
on the parking lot between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and
7:00 p.m.

seconded by Councilman Rubio and unanimously carried to
refer to City Attorney for report and recommendation
re: restrictive hours of parking in downtown parking
lots, with the suggestion of a two-hour limitation.
According to the Status Report, several businessmen in
the downtown area felt that the large sign in the park-
ing lot south of Foothill Blvd., could be improved with
painting, landscaping, etc., and suggested that, since
the sign is of a changeable copy type, it could be used
as a bulletin board to announce public events within the
City.
Moved by Councilman Cooney, seconded by Councilman Calvert
and unanimously carried to refer to City Administrator,
Director of Public Works, and Acting Superintendent of
Light and Water re: sign in parking lot south of Foothill
Blvd., on the east side of Azusa Avenue.

The City Clerk presented a request from Consolidated Rock

easterly of the extension of the centerline of Todd Ave.,

Ordinance #398•
A memo was submitted by the Director of Public Works,
stating that, in the settlement of the Todd Avenue
condemnation, one of the conditions agreed to by
Consolidated Rock Co. would be the discontinuance of
any spur lines crossing Foothill Blvd.; also, recom-
mending that their request for an extension be denied
as, within the next few months, the State 'Division of
Highways will be recapping Foothill Blvd., and it would
appear to be good judgment to remove these tracks prior
to the recapping, which would result in a smooth road.
After discussion it was moved by Councilman Cooney, seconded
by Councilman Calvert that the City Administrator and
Director of Public Works be authorized to contact Con-
solidated Rock Products Co., stating City would be happy
