Mayor Sizemore announced the public hearing on assessments for Horne Road Unit I Street Improvements, scheduled for 4:00 p.m. He explained the procedure to be followed, and asked that it be noted that a quorum of the Council and the required Charter officers were present to conduct a valid hearing. City Manager Townsend explained the purpose of the hearing was to allow those interested paoperty owners an opportunity to express themselves regarding the specifications of the project and to make comments as to the assessments against their individual properties which will provide a framework for levying the assessments. He stated Director of Engineering Services will present the plans and specifications, and that Assistant City Attorney Michael May will conduct the hearing. Mr. May stated the purpose of this hearing is to comply with the statutes regarding paving assessments; that testimony will be heard from the Director of Engineering Services, and evaluation testimony from a real estate appraiser to substantiate the assessments which appear on the assessment roll, and that this hearing is to form a basis on which the Council, acting as a • • Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 28, 1973 Page 15 legislative Jody, would determine or establish the assessments on the abutting properties. Director of Engineering Services James K. Lontos was interrogated as to his occupation, time of residence in the City, and formal qualifications and familiarity with the subject project. He presented the plans and specifications, explained the nature and extent of the proposed improvements, and pointed out the location on the map, stating the basic limits of the project are: (1) Horne Road, from the west property line of Lot 1-A, Block 1, Laguna Acres to the west right-of-way line of McArthur Street, and (2) Columbia Street, from the south right-of-way line of Horne Road to the north right-of-way line of Lolita Street. He explained that the construc- tion will be done in two phases, the first beginning at Columbia to McArthur; that the construction is to be according to standard specifications, consisting of curb and gutter, sidewalk, storm sewer improvements and driveways where needed and requested by the property owners. He explained that the assessment rates have been determined in accordance with the City's policy and by using the low bid submitted by Burtex Constructors and by applying these unit prices to the front footage of the abutting property; that the total contract price as shown on the preliminary assessment roll is $270,328.85; total estimated assessments, $74,807.88, and total cost of City's portion, $195,520.97. Mr. Lontos explained options whereby property owners may pay the assessments, and explained that no bills will be submitted for approximately 30 days after the project is finished. Mr. Harold Carr testified as to his identity as a real estate appraiser, time of residence in the City, occupation, experience as an appraiser of all types of real estate, residential, commercial, vacant and rural, his present occupation, and familiarity with the subject area and project. He described the general area, and stated there were no irregularly shaped lots of any significance. He stated he had examined each parcel of land and in his opinion, all the properties appearing on the preliminary assessment roll would be enhanced in value as a result of the improve- ments at least to the extent of the assessment, with theexceptionof Items J4 and #5, Lots 1 and 2, Lyles Subdivision, in the name of Harry Weisman, et al. Mr. Carr explained that these properties are zoned "R -1B" at the present time, and if assessed as zoned, it is his opinion that the assessment of $14.31 per L.F. for Curb and gutter and pavement would not be a valid assessment, and should only apply to the area • Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 28, 1973 Page 16 presently zoned "B-1". Mr. Carr stated if the property were deed restricted for 20 years to remain for residential use, this would affect his opinion of enhancement as a result of the improvements, and that if it were rezoned for business at the present time, then it would be his opinion that it would be enhanced in the amount of the assessment. He stated it is very valuable property and in his opinion, it will eventually be used for something other than residential. Mr. Carr pointed out that there is some question as to how much of the property is presently zoned for business. Mr. Richard Hatch, attorney representing the Harry Weisman properties, appeared and stated there is some confusion as to how much of the property is actually zoned for business, but that his client never requested that any of it be zoned for business, but was requested by the City; that they had applied for business zoning on the corner lot, but this was rejected by the Planning Commission and was later withdrawn before it came before the Council. He stated his client would like to have the entire area restricted to single-family uses and pay the lower rates, and would be willing to execute instruments to that effect, will execute instruments to the effect that they will pay the higher rate or the difference between $4.75 and $14.31 plus interest, if they are successful in getting the property zoned for a higher use, and are willing to commit the entire tract. No one else appeared to be heard in connection with the proposed street improvements. Motion by Gonzales, seconded by Branch and passed, that the hearing be closed, and that the assessments for the foregoing street improvements, be taken under advisement. Mayor Sizemore announced scheduled public hearings on five zoning applications and Text Amendments, Article 25 of the Zoning Ordinance. City Manager Townsend presented Application #373-1, Albert P. Perez, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District and a Special Permit to "A-1" Apartment House District, on Lot 23, Block 3, Molina SP1 Subdivision, located south of Horne Road on the west side of Angela Street in the 4100 Block. The request was heard by the Planning Commission March 6, 1973, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it be approved because apartments would be an improvement to this neighborhood and, also, the neighbors are in favor of the request. The Staff's opinion was that the requested change would constitute spot zoning and an intrusion of multiple -family development into this area.

Mr. Robert Thompson, applicant and owner of the land, spoke in opposition to the recommendation of the Commission, stating that he cannot borrow money on the land with its present zoning, and that a Special Permit would not solve his problem. He statod he had just recently found out that the land was not zoned for business, and that be was advised by the Planning Staff to apply for this zoning.
