(h) Considered separately, as stated in the motion;
(i)
Considered separately, as stated in the motion.
Commissioner Roberts suggested that (i) relative to the request to con-
vert the garage into a grocery store, be tabled and no action be taken at this
time, and that the applicant be notified that if this request is approved, it
cancels the previous Interim Permit granted to allow the garage repair operation as
recommended by the City Manager. There being no objection, the request of Juan
de los Santos was tabled.
In considering (d) relative to the request to locate a two-family dwelling
at 530 Pearson, and (h) relative to the request to convert an existing dwelling
for use in the preparation of tamales at 17021 Main Drive, Commissioner Wallace
felt these two requests should be processed as a change of zoning in order to give
the neighbors an opportunity to be heard, particularly since the Zoning & Planning
Commission has recently held public hearings on the proposed zoning for the area
involvedwhich indicated residential use.
Motion by Wallace, seconded by de Leon that (d) and (h) under considera-
tion be denied.
Commissioner Blackmon felt that Commissioner Wallace's comment had merit,
but that to deny the requests would mean an expenditure for each of the applicants
of approximately $40, eight weeks' delay in use of the property in order to allow
for two full public hearings, one by the Zoning & Planning Commission and one by
the City Council; and that in general he hesitated to overrule the recommendations
of the Zoning & Planning Commission since they had viewed the area; and that he
felt any development of properties in this area would be an improvement and should
be encouraged. Mayor Pro Tem Young suggested that the neighborhood be polled by
letter to see if there was any objection to the proposed uses.
Commissioner Wallace withdrew his motion, and Commissioner de Leon with-
drew his second.
Motion by Wallace, seconded by Roberts and passed that the requests of
A. L. Robinson, identified as (d), and of Antonio C. Arriaga, identified as (h),

be tabled to allow time for the neighborhoods to be polled by letter.

Gentlemen:
The public importance and pressing need for the permanent improvements to
be constructed by use of the proceeds of the bonds voted at the election held on

City Council pass the proposed ordinance authorizing the issuance of $125,000 Gas
System Revenue Bonds as an emergency. You will please consider this request in
connection with the ordinance which has been introduced in the City Council on this
subject.
Yours very truly,
/s/ James H. Young
Mayor Pro Tem"
