Morgan said it was time to think about building a building down here by the zoo; they could build it for around $30,000; it would be more beneficial to this City to build that building than it would be to put those restr omsfeein there since they have restrooms on one end of that and a few hundred from the other end; this building had been torn down a long time amand ttthere was no building within the City of National City that got an this building down there where they had dances and pool tables and this sort of thing right there near the zoo.

Councilman Waters said every dime of profit that was made other than expensesgoesgoes 10 into the Servicemen's Center and whoever told the Mayor thatwas fullof mud. t Mayor Morgan said these were exactly the words he said, all proceeds from this rodeo goes into the Servicemen's ,Center . Counci l=aanwiPinsonn error; he was the President of the Rodeo Association rand maybe to where it he didn't know how anyone could take those would mean every bit of money that went through those gates aVente ot thbuyehe Servicemen's Center because naturally, they were going to hhot dogs to be able to sell them; they were going to have to pay those rodeo people for putting on the rodeo; it would naturally be the net proceeds; the guy was in error if he said all proceeds; he should dh ve the Caudcilnet tprO- ceeds; he would like to assure the officials present all net proceeds go to the Servicemen's Center; they don't have to go to the Servicemen's Center; this is a non-profit organization and they could desig- nate any place that they wanted to to put this money, but this thing had to come out to zero at the end of the year; no one was getting away with any money in that Rodeo Association.

City Clerk Campbell stated the Certificate of Pub- lication was on file and the transmittal from the Planning Department stating the Planning Commission recommended approval was attachedagenda. There was discussion. RAY DUKE, 1414 "K" Avenue was present and asked the City Planner; in this case here, the Planner was bringing the General Plan into scope and agreement with the present zoning conditions; his under- standing of the Planning Director's intent was to take the City in blocks and work this General Plan into harmony with the zoning and in some cases to rezone to come into compliance. Planning Director Gerschler said that was true. Mr. Duke said where property had been purchased and ownership was under C-2, for example, and say it was a very large plot of land, what was his intent to do with this when it was combined and developed into commercial and apartment developments. Planning Director Gerschler said if one ownership has units on it and commercial on it, the zoning boundary could easily be drawn to go down the middle. Mr. Duke inquired what if the property owner didn't desire to do this. Planning Director Gerschler said they were attempting and had given notice to the property owners to let their wishes be known and would attempt to accommodate them. Mr. Duke inquired if he had any meeting ground that they could meet on to where they could still utilize the property; like small businesses they have in this City, they have several for combined income where the basis of the front of the lot being on one street for commercial use and the people having property rentals on the back on large lots; this may not be proper planning. Planning Director Gerschler said he was not arguing about it; he thought it was going to be necessary in a few cases and where it appeared to be necessary they would encourage it; they could be divided with a zone boundary. Mr. Duke asked if that could be done without splitting the ownershipof the property. The Planning Director said without splitting the ownership in any way a parcel could be divided by a zone boundary. Mr. Duke asked if that was just in zoning. The Planning Director replied that was just in zoning. Mr. Duke said in other words, where they had a C-2 piece of property, say it goes from 8th Street to 9th Street and the property facing 9th Street has apart- ment complexes, the property facing 8th Street was C-Zone and right now it was all C-Zone but it had the R--4 useage on 9th Street, would he be compelled in this case to seek or accept the lot split against his wishes. Planning Director Gerschler said the drawing of a zone boundary through a lot does not split the lot in any way whatsoever; it was not a lot split. Mr. Duke said it doesn't split it ownership -wise but it splits it purpose -wise; it also splits it market value -wise. Planning Director Gerschler said he would suggest in this case that they meet with this person and discuss the case. Vice Mayor Reid told Mr. Duke he should meet with the Planning Director and the man who owns this property; this discussion does not pertain to this public hearing and was not on the agenda. No one else was present in this regard. Moved by Waters, seconded by Camacho, the public hearing on the 15 proposed amendments to the General Plan 1985 (GP-6-72) and all stipulations of Item 3 under "Public Hearings" be adhered to and all stipulations of staff be approved.
