HEARING The HEARING ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 962, ZONING ORDI- NANCE OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, TO PROHIBIT NEW RESIDENTIAL DEvELOPMENT IN 'C' ZONES was held at this time. City Clerk Minogue stated the Certificate of Publication was on file and the Planning Department transmittal was attached to the agenda. Planning Director Gerschler said the Planning Commission was holding a series of public hearings to correct deficiencies between the General Plan and the Zoning Code; State Law now requires by January 1, 1973 the zoning code and the General Plan be in harmony; the General Plan adopted by the City Council discourages the use of commercial property for residential purposes; but even more precisely, the General Plan suggests that residential structures should not be used for commercial uses; there is a substantial amount of commercial zoned property being used for residential structures; one example of many was the Gersten Project (Plaza Manor) on Plaza Boulevard; the entire project was used for residential purposes and the entire project was in a commer- cial zone. It would be possible for a person in a project located in a commercial zone to convert from dwelling units to commercial activities and this would not be within the spirit and intent of the General Plan; 6/20/72 225 if the Council adopts this amendment in the Zoning Code to prohibit the use of commercial property for residential purposes, there are a number of properties that will have to be reclassified; they would then go back to the Planning Commission after the Council has acted on this case and suggest to them that they put the Gersten project into an R-Zone which would be in the residential category. CHARLES MICDNE, 440 Plaza Boulevard, was present and asked how many notices were sent out to the people in National City who were involved in this particular ordinance about changing the classi- fication; to his knowledge, 2/3 of National City was C-Zone; 18th Street, Plaza Boulevard, 4th Street, there was all C-Zoning throughout the City; very little was left in R-4; the people should be notified who own these properties so they would know exactly whether to go along with this particular arrangement or not; there are still a lot of people living in residential homes around 4th Street and 18th Street and Plaza Boulevard; he would like to know what he could do with his property; they have already changed that and they have to go before the Planning Commission to fight for two or three weeks or maybe two or three months because of certain conditions involved in this General Plan or the change in this zoning of 962; this was a very serious thing; he didn't think this should be taken up just for one or two nights; they shoU]d take months to study it; the whole City was involved; not just him, you, or somebody else. There was discussion. Mr. Micone said this ordinance should be laid over and all the people involved who had property should be notified exactly what was going to happen; what change was there going to be; what effect would it have on their property; say on that property next to his he wanted to build an apartment house next month; he couldn't do it. Mayor Morgan said he thought it would be a good idea they lay this over and study it. Planning Director Gerschler said they don't send mailed notices on an ordinance change. Councilman Camacho said but they do advertise it. Planning Director Gerschler said as stated in their staff report, later on there will be rei.classification on some property from "C" to "R" Zone; in each of those cases notices will be sent to all the property owners within 300' and to the owners of property affected; notice will be given by publication in the newspaper; hearings will be held by the Planning Commission and by the City Council; before the actual zoning map changes were made, notice will be given; so far as an ordinance change (which was all that was before them tonight), they do not ever send written notices on ordinance changes. Moved by Pinson, seconded by Camacho, this hearing be closed and the amendment to this Ordinance No. 962 be ado ted. Moved by Morgan, they table this motion for a week.
