Lowell, questioned the widsc~ of i~posing OD zaning on any property other than in the Civic Center, and suggested that the Co~acll, before al~mr~vix~ this application, give some thought to whether or not the health~ welfare and safety of the people are endangered inasmuch as the recent amendment to the CD District was passed as an interim ordinance. ~ motio~ of Cou~ci~m~B Hubbard, seconded By Councilman Schlueter, the letters net already introduced were received and ordered filed. Dale Heluly, 611 W. 8th Street, attorney for the applicant, noted that onl~y two objections to the application were presented personally at the City Council hearimg, and had the application been denied there would have been no legal way the owner c~uld come back for a certain length of time; that one of the new imdustries mentioned by ~r. Maxwell was going in directly east of property containing 6~ u~its of ~alti-residential development; that regarding schools~ it is the responsibility of school district to provide schools when City provides childrem$ that it will take 20 years to use up presently zoned industrial property; regarding use of OD z~ming, applicant desires architectural control to keep develepmont fr~ becoming detrimental to neighbors; that owner has net been able to sell property for industrial use and is entitled to the reclassifi- cation and urges that C~uncil pass the ordinance to second reading. J. Ogden Narkel spoke in support of Mr. Neinly~s presentation, noting that children would have to be schooled no matter in what part of the City they lived au4 that Irvine C~mpany was going to bring in some 3,500 acres of industrial land within a mile or two santh of the subject property. James A. Stevens, 25~0 S. Main, owner of adjacent property, ccm~auded the Council's decision of July 15th to approve the application. Mayor Nail stated that after taking imto consideration all of the statements and letters involved, he still felt that the integrity of the area had been maintained as applied to Kerr Glass Co.; since this was an isolated piece of property already zoned commercial on Main Street and since the CD District would provide tight architectural controls, he felt this was not an encroachment. C~u~cilman Gilmore stated that while he had heard much regarding the integrity of industrial zone and industry and the contribution of industry, he had heard little about the integrity of the individual and his rights. He felt that it was net Just or consistent for the City to claim it is for the walfare of the whole city amd place the responsibility on one man. Councilman Narvey stated that he concurred with the Mayor and Councilm-= Gilmore, and that the matter had been blown ~p out of proportion giving the c~unity the impression that the Council is not for industry, Jobs, or a solid tax base.
