RE: Rezoning from A-1 to I-1 of
Property Located on Duff Avenue
South of Bourns .
Applicant: Warren Israel
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council :
The Planning and Zoning Commission during its regular meeting on December 17,
1976, considered the above request for rezoning and adopted the following
motion by a 4-0 vote with Shaughnessy, Shank, and Thurston being absent:
That we recommend the I-3 zoning rather than I-1 zoning
for the entire tract of Parcel A.
and adopted a second motion by the same vote as follows :
That Parcel B remain A-1.
Industrial classification of this property is consistent with representations
made in the Land Use Policy Plan.
The recommendation for I-3 zoning for Parcel A by the Commission stems from
several considerations. The tract is in close proximity to a residential area
to the southeast, which necessitates development controls to assure compatible
relationships. Bourns property to the north represents a highly desireable
and aesthetic form of industrial development, which should be emulated on the
subject tract. The subject tract is immediately adjacent to the airport, and
because of this relationship every precaution should be exercised to assure
that any development does not conflict with Airport plans and zoning patterns.

The Planning and Zoning Commission' s recommendation that Parcel B remain
in an A-1 classification also stems from several considerations . These
may be deciphered from the attached staff report.
