Mayor Morgan asked if the Planning Commission considered keeping 17th Street between 12/12/78 59 "N" Avenue and Palm and between ''J" Avenue and "L" to allow people to build one or two and not allow heavy zoning in the area. Mr. Gunnarson stated the Planning Commission heard testimony from the entire area and did not single out this particular area. Muor Morgan asked why the Planning Commission doesn't have a hearing on the 17th Street area to protect the people. Mr. Gunnarson stated the Planning Commission had the option to reduce the size of the area of change; it was not discussed at their hearing and there was substantial opposition of a cross-section throughout that'area including property owners on 17th Street. Mayor Morgan suggested sending the area of 17th Street back to the Planning Commission for consideration. Vice Mayor Camacho stated the Mayor says he is concerned about the people and the people are telling Council (after going to the Planning Commission a number of times) that they don't want their properties changed; the Planning Commission has said they will not change the property and will leave it as it is; Council should accept the fact that this is what the people want. Mr. Gunnarson stated relative to 17th Street between "J" and "L", on the south side of 17th in the first block is an apartment project and two lots with two dwelling units on each; the balance of the properties, 1102 to 1128 17th there are four single family homes; there are two single family homes on "L" Street south of 17th; on the north side of the Street there are two single family homes, a duplex, two apartment complexes and then three single family homes; between "N" and Palm on the north side of the street there are five single family homes; two lots with two dwelling units each; one lot with an apartment; then two with two dwelling units and a single family homq on the south here is an apartment, five single family homes, a two family home, an apartment, a single family, a duplex..

MARY ESCUDERO, 906 E. 16th Street, was present and stated she has a house that she rents in front, she is a retired school teacher and depends on this money to supplement her income; she also has a little apartment in the back where she stays when in town; the lot is 100 X 300' and she has heard that she can only put one house on it; the only reason she hasn't built on the lot is that she doesn't have the finances to do it; but was hoping to put at least five units on the back to have add- itional income; this zone change would eliminate that possibility and asked for Councilto leave the area like it is. Mr. Gunnarson stated that if this zone was unchanged she would be able to build apartment. ELIZABETH COX, 1610 Palm, was present and repeated what she outlined in her letter of opposition, she protests the down -zoning of her property as it is a large 75 X 1.30' lot which she hopes to sell and for which the ideal use would be apartments. LEE MASON, 1337 E. 18th Street, was present and stated this is the worst time possible to limit property owners to one house on a lot. Mayor Morgan stated if the Planning Commission recommendation is approved, Mr. Mason's property would not be changed; the only property he is specifically referring to is on 17th Street and he believes it should be protected against encroachment from apartments; people that live on 17th Street should have the final say-so regarding that area, Councilman Van Deventer asked how many people in the audience live on 17th Street between "J" and "L", saying he would like to hear from them.
