612 South Flower, Los Angeles, for permission to

application. Mr. Harry Johnson, 2121 Placentia
Avenue, Costa Mesa, spoke to the Council. Mrs.
Jean Robins, 1807 Tahiti Drive, Costa Mesa, asked
questions of the Council. After discussion,. the
Council found that the granting of the Conditional
Use Permit would cause an undue increase in motor
vehicle traffic; would not constitute the highest
and best possible use of the corner in question;
is unwarranted because the proximity of Fair-
view State Hospital, the Fair Medical Building,
and the new Municipal -Golf Course requires a
higher and more planned use of this property
than is contemplated by the applicant; is
unwarranted where approximately 14 of the 74
service stations in Costa Mesa are closed indi-
cating a possibility if not a probability that
the proposed use at this location may change
in character of primary use from a service
station to a repair garage, body shop, trailer
rental agency, vehicle parking lot, used car lot,
or other use contrary to the zone existing and
contrary to the highest and best use of the
parcel; would be contrary to the findings of the
Planning Commission which are hereby supported
and adopted. Upon motion by Councilman Pinkley,
seconded by Councilman Wilson, the application
was denied by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen: Wilson, Jordan, Pinkley,
Tucker
