Moved by Colburn, seconded by Harris, the minutes of the ad)ourned meeting
of June 27L 1967 and the regular meeting of July 11, 1967 be approved.
Carried by unanimous vote.
COUNCILMAN HARRIS stated there are many beautiful buildings under construction,
but a very noticable improvement is the painting of the Salvation Army build-
ing on National Avenue and the B & D Bargain store next door; if the owners
of vacant buildings on National Avenue would paint the fronts of their
buildings it would make the area look so much brighter; the owners could
paint the windows of vacant buildings to eliminate gaping black holes.
MAYOR MORGAN asked the City Manager to check with the swimmers to see if
they would go along with the plan of putting in the slab, footings, plumbing
and electrical work (making the building large and nice enough in keeping
with the pool) for a concession stand.
MAYOR MORGAN said the City has approximately $50,000.00 for a 1911 Act
Revolving Fund and inquired when they would get started on new projects.
City Manager Osburn said he would like to have a Finance Committee meeting
Monday, July 24th, at which time the tentative budget would be read. Vice
Mayor Colburn, Finance Committee Chairman, called a meeting of the Finance
Committee for Monday, July 24th, at 3:30 P.M.
LT. JOSEPH COELIANNI, JR., USN Ret., 2772 Wilma Street, was present and said
he was perturbed by what he had read in the papers regarding the proposed
industrial park; he is a property owner and he knew taxes would go up year by
year unless something was done about it; the redevelopment proposal of the
Council (with the help of Uncle Sam) would be the greatest thing that could
happen to the City of National City; there are some people who oppose every-
thing that Uncle Sam puts money into to help a city with its major efforts;
he checked the whole situation on the industrial park and felt that unless
something was done about it National City would be a third-rate city from
now on. Lt. Coelianni said if the people were given the right information
they would all go forward; if it all turned out right, they would have 100
acres of developed land; and, with the port, manufacturers would come which
would mean more employment; the income for National City would be such that
in future years taxes would either stay where they are or go down; the way
it is now, taxes would have to go up as there is no place to get the money
except from the taxpayers; he and all the other taxpayers would have to back
the City Council and obtain the industrial park. Lt. Coelianni said accord-
ing to the newspaper there was recrimination, one way or the other, about
7/18/67
10
some Councilmen were crooks, they were taking their liberties away, etc.,
but he felt commendation was due them for waht they were trying to obtain
for the City; he urged the people to look into the question very thoroughly
and to vote "yes" for the industrial park; California is taxed money which
goes all over the country and it would be a good idea to bring some of it
back. Lt. Coelianni inquired what the Home Owners Association was worrying
about as the Council had made a statement that the one hundred acres was the
only thing they would touch as it was a dump; some people say the councilmen
do various things and would perhaps make a few dollars but did not see what
that had to do with the total industrial area; some people will profit if
they have property there; there is nothing you can do with the small shacks
that have been in that area for years but he was positive the City would
compensate them for their property; there would be assessors who would give
them all that could be given them. Lt. Coelianni said unless this develop-
ment was made the port at the 24th Street pier would mean nothing to National
City.
Councilman Hogue suggested speakers under Oral Communications be reminded
of the five minutes limitation.
MERLE STEDMAN, 2725 C Avenue, was present and said National City was better
equipped for tourism than industry; there would be another depression as we
can't be over four hundred billion dollars in debt without one; he suggested
making a community effort to clean up our city; he tried to get the City to
put a building on some property he owned and had drawn a picture a.nd sent it
to the City but the "Planning Lady" had sent it back; he suggested our canyons
could be made to look like the Bircha.rd Gardens which would bring tourists to
our City; National City has more potential than any city in the United States.
TOM LEONARD, 2740 Lincoln Court, was present and said he spoke about the
question and answer brochure in favor of redevelopment last week; he agreed
with Lt. Coelianni this was an abused Council but it did seem to him there
were questions that were not answered truthfully: "What will this cost the
National City taxpayers? No cost." Mr. Leonard said unless the Council set
aside the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution, the citizens
will have to pay; some of the money would be coming out of National City.
Mr. Leonard's chief objection to the Federal Government coming in on a pro-
ject of this nature is that every time someone gets Federal money it is put
into the budget; soon it amounts to a pretty penny and is really bribing the
citizens of National City with their own money; that was what was in the
Mayor's mind when he said the appropriations had already been made; for
thirty years two things he had heard: "If you don't take it, somebody else
will" and "It isn't going to cost the taxpayers a cent"; he did not think
those were truths and would like to debate them sometime to show that
people were being rooked and eventually would lose their liberties that way;
when the Nazis took over, one German general said he didn't know how it
happened as it came on so gradually and one morning Hitler was in power and
they all had to goosestep to his commands; the same thing could happen in
our country; none of us know which straw will be the one to break the back of
liberties for all of us and we should be cautious.
CHARLES CISCO, 2137 Grove Street, was present and voiced concern over the
disturbances in Newark and expressed hope that the National City Police
Department has a set policy to deal so strenuously it won't get out of hand.

Director of Planning Stockman stated the hearing concerned the westerly por-
tion of the National City Airport Annexation and involved the lands contained

THE USE DISTRICT HEARING ON PROPOSED ORDINANCE CHANGE ESTABLISHING CRITERIA

scaping; would require decorative treatment to all structures to increase

fences and gates be maintained in good repair. Director of Planning Stockman
further stated the Planning Commission recommended the ordinance providing
for the establishment of the criteria for development within the Commercial,
Manufacturing and Industrial Zones be adopted. Moved by Colburn, seconded
by Reid, the hearing be closed but the recommendation "would automatically.
place all commercial, manufacturing and industrially zoned lands within a^
Fire 2 Zone" be stricken, the rest of the recommendations be approved, and
it be referred to the proper authorities for further processing. Director

amount of $227.19) stating she did not feel she should pay for two assess-

FLORENCE UZEMECKI, 524 I Avenue, was present and said Lt. Coelianni claimed
the Home Protective League didn't know anything; it was because they knew
so much that they had objected to urban renewal; Lt. Coelianni obtained his
ideas from the newspapers which only gave one side of the argument; she
suggested anyone who would like to know more about their side of it to go to
the meeting to be held in the Community Building, 7:30 on Thursday evening
at which time the Reverend Faye Brice would explain fully what it would mean
for National City to go into urban redevelopment; she was certain Lt.
Coelianni did not know there would be twenty odd buildings on National Avenue

papers on a total wrecked car. Councilman Harris inquired if there was
anything in the ordinance stating how far the tow companies were to be
located from a bus line in case a car was impounded for improper parking
and was towed away or that it be put on asphalt or concrete instead of being
dragged through the mud on unpaved lots. City Manager Osburn said they
would require a surfaced lot in the storage area. Mayor Morgan inquired if
from the street to the lot would be required to be paved also. The City
Manager said he would have to check on that. Councilman Harris inquired if
any of the storage places were near a bus line. City Manager Osburn said
one was on Highland Avenue and the other on Cleveland. Mayor Morgan said

business property. City Manager Osburn said it was required in the contract.

The PLANNING COMMISSION report they took under consideration and held a
public hearing on application for zone change from R-2, Two Family Residence
Zone to R-4 Multiple Residence Zone on the property 1939-1941 E. 8th Street
(NW corner of 8th & T), was presented. Director of Planning Stockman said
this property lies within the proposed route of the 805 Freeway, as determined
by John Ritz, Division of State Highways. Mrs. Stockman said the Planning
Commission (in 1959) considered the establishment of Multiple Zoning to the
westerly side of the proposed freeway but felt the easterly side should be
held to a lower density zoning; if the applicant had presented criteria that
would establish there had been a change in either the ordinance or conditions
7/18/67
15
that would qualify for multiple zoning beyond the freeway, then staff would
have recommended the application be brought back to the Planning Commission
and the entire area west of T Avenue be considered for multiple zoning so
the land in the area after the freeway goes through could be included. Mrs.
Stockman continued: the Planning Commission felt since definite plans had
not been submitted and mast of the area does conform to present zoning that
the application be denied (Government Code provides that if the Planning
Commission recommends denial of an application, no action need be taken by
the City Council unless an appeal is signed by the applicant and is filed
within five days of presentation to the Council.).
The PLANNING COMMISSION recommendation the application for zone change No.
C-36 from R-4 Multiple Residence to C-2 Limited Commercial Zone on all that
property west of D Avenue between 31st and closed 32nd Street (with the
exception presently developed residential area) be set for public hearing
August 8th with the Planning Commission recommendation to be taken under
consideration at that time, was presented. Moved by Colburn, seconded by
Harris, the recommendation be approved. Carried by unanimous vote.
The PLANNING COMMISSION recommendation application for zone change to
establish permanent C-2-P-D, Limited Commercial Planned Development Zoning,
on the Derr Annexation west of F Avenue between closed 31st Street and closed
32nd Street be set for public hearing on August 8 with the Planning Commission
recommendation to be taken under consideration at that time, was presented.

submitted subject to the approval by the City of all future specific detail
construction plans" be approved. City Manager Osburn stated he agreed with
the recommendation. Carried by unanimous vote.
MAYOR MO2GAN stated appreciation for the people who attend Council meetings;
in regard to the earlier statement about the proposed redevelopment costing
the taxpayers money, it has already been appropriated and if National City
does not take advantage of it/it would go somewhere else; when people do
not take advantage of this Federal help, they are the losers. Councilman
Harris said it had been said all of the nice buildings on National Avenue
would be torn down and bulldozed off; those buildings that meet Code require-
ments(and most all of them do) would be left intact; anyone owning property
would be able to upgrade their buildings through small business loans; no
one on National Avenue would have to be displaced. Mayor Morgan stated he
would not have voted for urban renewal in 1949, but it has been upgraded
and changed to permit property in good keeping to remain; in 1949 when a
blight area was declared they bulldozed everything in front of it; that is
the difference between urban renewal and urban redevelopment.
CITY MANAGER OSBURN said he had a notice from the Public Utilities Commission
enclosing a copy of Application No. 49538 of the San Diego and Eastern
Arizona Railroad Company for an order authorizing construction of industrial
spur tracks on its main line at MT6.40 crossing, Coolidge Avenue; and asking
the position of the City of National City in respect to the application.
The City Manager recommended approval of the application; it was an indus-
trial track to serve the north part of the airport development and there
is a building under construction there that needs a track. Moved by
Colburn, seconded by Reid, the City Manager be authorized to write a letter
stating the Council approves their request. Carried by unanimous vote.
KATHERINE WILSON, 123 F Avenue, was present and said in regard to the
Mayor's remarks on the difference between urban renewal and urban redevelop-
ment, when Mr. Manlove was asked the question, "Was there any difference
between urban renewal and urban redevelopment," his answer was that there
7/18/67
16
was "no difference." Mayor Morgan said the program had been upgraded since
1949. Mrs. Wilson said all of the property would have to be brought up to
code or to what the Planners think is right.
Moved by Harris, seconded by Hogue, the meeting be closed. Carried by
unanimous vote. The meeting closed at 8:40 P.M.
