COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS COUNCILMAN WATERS said there was an item which displeased him; it was the action of their representatives, voting to provide food stamps, welfare aid to striking union members; they were key sources of union strike sup- port; this year it would cost the taxpayer $3-4,000,000 to support people who were out on strike. Mr, Waters read an article in this regard and said he hoped they would write to Congressman Van Deerlin and a couple of their local representatives and tell them something ought to be done about that $3 or $4 million dollars subsidized by 80% of the working people. COUNCILMAN WATERS said the Mayor mentioned a month ago if they had any appointments to any of the commissions or anything to let him know; there were two vacancies on the Planning Commission; he respectfully requested the Council to assign Teddy Tafoya, 2822 E. 18th Street, National City, and he wanted the record to show she had never supported him in any way for the Council and he had never had any dealings in that respect with her; he hoped the Council would have the time to check her out; he thought she was a very fine person.

HEARINGS The HEARING ON A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN 1985, GP-4-72, TO DELETE ALL REFERENCES TO "NO INDUSTRIAL LAND EAST OF NATIONAL AVENUE"wae held at this time, City Clerk Campbell said the Certificate of Publication of the notice of the hearing was on file and a transmittal from the Plan- ning Director was attached to the agenda. Planning Director Gerschler said the General Plan contains the statement: "there will be no industrial land east of National Avenue;" since the adoption of the General Plan the City annexed and zoned some property that is industrial east of National Avenue; to the best of their knowledge, that zoning is sound and should remain; ABI301 requires that the City's zoning map and the General Plan be made in agreement; the Council would have the choice of either amending the zoning map, take off the industrial zoning east of National Avenue, or amending the General Plan to remove this statement; the Planning Commission considered both alternatives and they felt the procedure that was in the best interest of the City was to amend the General Plan as proposed on the agenda. No one was present in this regard. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Waters, the hearing be closed and the proms ed amendment to the General Plan 1985, GP.w4-72, to delete all references to "no industrial land east of National Av nue'' � a prpved and the proper authorities be notified. Carried by unanimous vote. The HEARING ON A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN 1985, GP-5-72, TO DELETE THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH FROM PAGE 39 THEREOF: "NATIONAL CITY'S INDUSTRIAL ZONE BE BOUNDED BY AN AREA 1/2 BLOCK WEST OF NATIONAL AVENUE AND ON THE NORTH BY 8TH STREET: THE DOWNTOWN AREA WILL BE THOSE LANDS BOUNDED BY DIVISION STREET, 13TH STREET, INTERSTATE 5 FREEWAY AND "A" AVENUE: THE RECENTLY ZONED AREA BETWEEN 8TH AND PLAZA, EAST OF EUCLID WILL BE A COMMUNITY SHoPPLNG C 'RM STEAD OF A MEDICAL CENTER, WITH 7/25/72 261 THE REMAINDER ZONED RESIDENTIAL, EXCEPT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING CENTERS AND STRIP COMMERCIAL ZONING IN LIMITED LENGTHS ON SELECTED MAJOR STREETS" was held at this time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of publi- cation was on file and a Transmittal from the Planning Director was at- tached to the agenda. Planning Director Gerschler said this item was an almost identical situation; the General Plan, again, adopted certain boundaries for the downtown business district and for a community shopping center at Plaza and Euclid with certain neighborhood shopping facilities in that general area; since the adoption of the Plan, the Council on the advice of the Planning Commission has held hearings to establish zoning and zoning map boundaries that do not agree with the boundaries listed in the General Plan; AB1341 insists that either you amend the zoning map or amend the General Plan; the Planning Commission, in reviewing, felt it would be best to amend the General Plan to coincide with the zoning map; that was the recommendatiom before them tonight. No one was present in this regard. Moved by Waters, seconded by Camacho, the public hearing be dntosed and the proposed amendmeto the General Plan 1985 GP..-7 S2 7be moved su rjec to stipulations s . Carried by unanimous vote. COUNCILMAN WATERS thanked the City Planner for studying areas for possible single family residences throughout the City and asked him to explain this. Planning Director Gerschler displayed a map on the bulletin board and said staff studied possible areas in the City to be saved for R-1 single family developments that perhaps weren't in that zone at this time; they made a study using land inventory data, field inspections, and located all of the vacant parcels in the City; from that they cut out these parcels which are lots of one acre or more„ thinking that 1 acre or less was probably not large enough for any sort of subdivision or development for single family purposes, an acre being a parcel of approximately 212' square; of these parcels that were left, these are the vacant parcels of 1 acre or more in the City of National City; that's all of them; the parcels shown in orange were eliminated from the study because either development plans or build- ing permits had already been issued for some other use than R.1, in some cases apartment houses, in some cases commercial, and here's a case where it was eliminated because it was within the freeway, so the remaining parcels shown in yellow are of 1 acre or more that were available for development; no plan was made in the industrial area for single family residences; they took the remaining parcels (the ones in yellow) and analyzed each one and made a field study; they found, for example, some of them were very small parcels totally surrounded by developed R-4 zoning apartment houses; they probably couldn't get financing for single family; they eliminated parcels that were probably not logically suited for single family development; surprising as this may be, they only found 3 parcels that in probability they could use for single family residential; these are in addition to all parcels now zoned single family residential; of parcels 38, 41, and 45 38 is on loth Street near Lanoitan; 41 is on 4th Street east of Harbison; 45 is on Plaza between Harbison and Olive. Councilman Waters said the property on east 4th Street on the other side of Harbison was up on a nice high level. Councilman Waters inquired if anyone on the Council desired to save a few of these lots for R.1 purposes. There was discussion, ORAL COMMUNICATIONS DR. OSCAR CANEDO, 1729 Cleveland Avenue, was present and said he was the newly elected president of the National School Board; he was present to ask them once again for their assistance in this coming fiscal year or school year, '72-'73; they have to work hand in hand with the City in many areas, especially in planning and housing, etc, so they could cal- culate and project how many students would be in certain schools in certain areas in certain developments; he would like to welcome each and everyone of them to their school board meetings; they meet on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:30. 7/25/72 262 ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS Moved by Camacho, seconded by Waters, the resolutions be read by title.
