COUNCILMAN HOGUE said at the bottom of each page of Agenda attachments, for instance, the first page of Hearings is marked "V. Hearings, No. 1;" he didn't know why the numbering had been added; he didn't know whether it was because the people don't understand the agenda or they don't know what was going on or why it got requested or anything, because they have a pre -Coun- cil hearing; what he wanted was a report from the City Clerk about how much time it takes of City time to add such nonsense as this to the bottom of the agenda.

City Clerk Hinogue said the Planning Commission recommendation was attached to the agenda and the Certificate of Publication of the notice of hearing was on file. Planning Director Gerschler said the Council had the Planning Commission's recommendation and transmittal with all of the attachments included; the Zoning Ordinance of National City at this time describes service stations as being places only for the sale of gasoline and other oil products; liquified petroleum gas, butane or propane was not mentioned except in the heavy M-3 Zones where bulk plants might be found; applicants made a request for an amendment of the code that will allow the dispensing of liquified petroleum gas; they propose to install these serv- ices in existing service stations or at places where gasoline is now sold; the purpose being to serve campers, trailers and tourist type facilities; the Planning Commission found it was not listed in and was not a permitted use in the present ordinance and they therefore were proposing an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that, as in the previous case, would have the effect of allowing this use by Conditional Use Permit; if the City Council approves this amendment any future applications for this use would require the filing of a Conditional Use Permit application which like he said in the previous case would come back to the City Council for approval; if the City Council (and this question has come up; it came up with the Planning Commission) wished to restrict this use to service stations only and not the accessory type of gasoline sales uses you have in town, this could certainly be done by simply adding this stipulation to your approval. Assistant Fire Chief Richard Harrold was present and answered Council questions in regard to liquified gas. Bob Young, Pargas, 7370 Broadway, Lemon Grove, was present and said he especially brought these folders to the Council to answer any questions pertaining to filling, the safety in handling, any questions which would probably come into their minds could be answered from this folder. Councilman Reid asked for a chance to read the Pargas material and suggested they hold this over for a week, Mr. Young said he would really appreciate it if they would before making a decision. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Camacho, the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance 962 be approved by the City Council. City Attorney McLean said he wanted to be sure there were no misunderstandings; he owns an interest in a business that does from time to time sell propane gas as incidental to the business; he had not discussed the proposed ordinance with anybody on the Council, the Planning Commission or the Planning staff or done anything in any way or expressed any opinion on the merits of this proposal.

Mayor Morgan asked Luis Natividad if this was what he had in mind when he presented his proposal to the Council last week. Mr. Natividad replied there was an office that wasn't used, the office in the middle; the one where they had their conference.
