Planning Director Gerschler stated this won't affect her that much; her property is zoned R-1 following the General Plan hearings; the density change here brings the Zoning Map in compliance with the Density Map; it doesn't bring in any new limitations that aren't in effect; the only way she could achieve a higher density would be to have her property rezoned from R-1 to R-M, multiple family residential which is nett on the agenda tonight; she would...have to file a separate application and proceed with it. TOM VALLOUR, 1409 E Avenue, was present and spoke on Item 3 -- density unspecified, and asked what it signified? Mr. Gerschler stated this is a parcel that is part of the Community Development's Senior Citizens project and under state law the Community Redevelopment law allows the setting of the density and it must be in the redevelopment plan adopted by the Council; therefore, nothing is accomplished by showing the density on the zoning mapt it will be decided as part of the redevelopment plan. Mr. Vallour stated then they would be going for 30-40 units per acre; it seemed to him that National City is very transient with Navy personnel moving, etc., we don't have a permanent community and we're a city of apartments; the density factor is getting thicker. Mayor Morgan stated the people have voted 4-1 for this Senior Citizens. Mr. Vallour stated that he was hoping to receive some reassurance from the Council that the City. isn't going to end up with high density housing; he also can't understand putting in Senior Citizen housing and right next to it, condominiums; who is going to come into this area and pay $40,000 for a condo.

Planning Director Gerschler stated that the Planning Commission has talked from time to time about extending the Park and attempted to get the money from the Board of Supervisors to acquire the land, the General Plan shows it for park use in the future; at the moment we have no active plan on it.
