Plaque in recognition of his professional courage and alert- ness under extremely hazardous conditions. (CA 73B) PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing to ORDINANCE NO. NS-1207 consider the adoption SERVICE STATIONS of an ordinance regulat- ing service stations was opened by Mayor Patterson. Affidavits of publication and mailing of proper Notice were on file with the Clerk of the Council. William Daugherty, Senior Planner, gave a slide presentation, showing four categories of service stations: abandoned, closed, converted and operating. He stated that the proposed ordinance provided for an "S" (Service Station) District and abatement of abandoned service stations; and that its adoption is recommended by Planning Commission Resolution No, 6847. The following people addressed Council, objecting to certain sections of the ordinance: Ken Denny, Western Oil and Gas Assoc., 609 S. Grand Avenue, Los Angeles 90017; Cal Massee, Shell Oil Co., P.O. Box 20158, San Diego; Donald Pieper, 13122 Laurinda Way, Santa Ana 9270S Ron Werderitsch, U-Haul Co., 1233 South Wright, Santa Ana. The opponents stated that the "S" District would deter moderni- zation of existing stations; that the service station defini- tion needed improvement; that the ordinance should include all types of drive-in operations; and that it would discriminate against property owners who lease their property for a service station because it would be zoned "S" and could not be used for any other commercial purpose. There were also objections to the provisions dealing with rental equipment and decora- tive walls and screening. There were no other opponents or proponents and the hearing was closed by the Mayor.
