Swan Drive, Costa Mesa, owner of property at 134 East
19th Street; and Margaret M. Peterman, 3002 Killy-
brooke Lane; Costa Mesa, owner of property at 132
East 19th Street. Doug Clark of the Planning staff
described the present uses in the subject area and
expressed the staff's opinion that the commercial
viability appears questionable. The Planning Depart -
went and Planning Commission recommended approval of
the amendment and authorization to initiate a rezone
of the subject properties to R2 -CP. Joseph W. Putnam,
was present representing Mrs.. Farr, to answercques-
tions from the Council. Mr. W. M. Fassell, 1600 Dover
Drive, Newport Beach, was present as the owner of
property at the corner of Church and 20th Streets.
Mr. Fassell described various problems in the subject
area and felt that perhaps the west side of Church
Street could be designated for some type of limited
commercial uses. Jim Tice, 3206 Colorado Place,
owner of property at 1923 and 1925 Church Street,
voiced no objection to Mrs. Farr's request but
expressed opposition to the proposed change on his
property which he would like to remain commercial.
Mr. R. K. McNeilly, owner of property at 1904 Church
Street, requested to.have his property excluded from
the proposed amendment. Rex Rechs, owner of property
in the subject area, expressed his opinion that the
best use for the properties in question would be
limited commercial. Margaret Peterman, 3002 Killy-
brooke Lane, owner of property at 132 East 19th
Street, which is presently being used residentially,
expressed her desire to have the property remain
commercial so that a long term goal of developing it
as such could be realized. Other speakers in opposi-
tion to the request were: Mrs. Bessie Minor, 1986
Church Street; and Joseph Schual, 1967 Church Street.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
public hearing. During the Council discussion
which followed, considerable concern was expressed
with regard to those property owners wishing to have
their property remain commercial, and yet, attaining
a solution that will protect the existing residential
uses. Doug Clark of the Planning staff suggested
that the Medium -Density designation could be:applied
and then the commercial lots could have the CL,
Limited Commercial, zoning which would be consistent
with the Medium Density General Plan designation.
This.would then legalize the existing commercial
uses. After further discussion, the properties on
19th Street were deleted from consideration. On
motion by Councilwoman Smallwood, seconded by Council-
man Raciti, the Negative Declaration of Environmental
Impact was accepted as meeting the requirements of the
Resolution 77-82 law, and Resolution 77-82, being A RESOLUTION OF THE
