<br />received.
<br />
<br />William Wenke, 2014 N. Broadway, attorney for the applicant, stated that the
<br />c~m~any was unable to obtain a loan because of the non-conforming use; that under
<br />present ordinances, if major repair work were needed, c~y is hindered on the
<br />basis of assessed valuation; and it is necessary to protect sizable investment
<br />that employs large number of people and has been in operation long before there
<br />were any homes in the area.
<br />
<br />Claude M. Hunter, 1654 E. 4th Street, presented a petition in opposition from
<br />about 73 property owners in the area. On motion of Councilman Harvey, seconded
<br />by Councilman Gilmore and carried, Council received and ordered filed the petition.
<br />Mr. Hunter stated tbmt the applicant's legal description was vague as to the
<br />area to be reclassified and cited as reasons for denying the application, the
<br />possibility of expansion by the company, around-the-clock operation of the busi-
<br />ness, possible sale to any M 1 industry, excessive noise and odors, all of which
<br />would devaluate property values in the neighborhood.
<br />
<br />W. G. Statemen, 308 N. ~Jright, spoke in opposition, submitting four pictures
<br />showing traffic congestion and improper purking by trucks in the area. On motion
<br />of Councilman Harvey, seconded by Councilman Gilmore and carried, the pictures
<br />were received and ordered filed. Mrs. Mason, 16~4 E. Palm, also spoke in opposition
<br />noting lack of parking.
<br />
<br />Mr. Wenke cited the Cai Compack Company rezoning to M 1 as setting a precedent
<br />for this case. Amos Swayne, 19241 Canyon Drive, Orange, stated that his company
<br />had no plans to expand as there was insufficient land to do so, and that
<br />improvements would be interior only. There being no further testimony, the hear-
<br />ing was closed.
<br />
<br />On motion of Councilman Harvey, seconded by Councilman Gilmore and carried, Council
<br />approved the reclassification and instructed the City Attorney to prepare an
<br />amending ordinance according to E~hibit A.A. ~81-A.
