TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP Council reconsidered Item NO. 815 10 C on the Agenda: TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 815 - Filed by Foodmaker, Inc., creating two (2) C 2 parcels; parcel #1 for residential and parcel #2 for commercial; located generally north of Hazard Avenue, West of Harbor Boulevard; waiver of alley requirement; and the request made by Mr. J. Fager for a continuance. On motion of Councilman Evans, seconded by Councilman Ward, and carried on a 6 - 0 vote, Council denied without prejudice Tentative Parcel Map 815. (CA 2S) AGENDA ORDER Attorney Melvin Cohen, who was in the Council agreed by informal unanimous consent to con- sider Item 63 on the public Agenda to accommodate audience. CONTINUANCE The report of the City OF TAXI HEARINGS AS Attorney recommending SET FOR AUGUST 20, 1973 that Council continue the taxi hearings for a period of sixty days on August 20, 1973, which would afford applicants maximum due process, and free Council from the time-consuming process of hearing initial presentations, under the provisions of Ordinance NS-1180, was considered by Council. Melvin Cohen, Attorney, 401 Civic Center Drive West, representing C ~ S Tours, Inc., spoke in opposition to the continuance, stating that further continuance could in effect close down his client's entire operation because of a preliminary injunction obtained against C & S Tours, Inc. by Blue & White Cab Co., which had been stayed to August 22, 1973. The consensus of Council was that it did not want to hear taxi applications by the old procedure; that Council was not in a position to gather evidence in this kind of hearing; that the public interest would best be served by hearing the matter under the standards and procedures of the new ordinance; and that it was in favor of the continuance to a time when the matter could be heard under the new ordinance. Mr. Cohen stated that he would be willing to stipulate that the matter could be heard by a hearing officer based on the new ordinance, and that he would agree to be bound by the provisions of the new ordinance, if the findings of the hearing officer could be completed prior to August 20. Councilman Griset's motion to accept the stipulation, and to permit the matter to be heard by a hearing officer under the new procedure, subject to the approval of the City Attorney; and in the absence of the City Attorney's approval, that the matter be set for continuance on August 20, 1973; was seconded by Councilman Ward, and unanimously carried on a 6 - 0 vote.
