He distributed two Appendix B's, labeled "I" and "II and .explained "I" reflects the transfer of $35,000 from Zone -IV to Zone I, resulting in a substantial increase for Zone IV, and he recommended the Council direct staff to put off that transfer for one year, levy assessments based on Appendix "B", and to increase the levy in Zone IV from $70 to $85.

It was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Councilman Santangelo, and so ordered to receive and file the Affidavit. Mr. Ralph said this hearing was continued to allow staff time to meet with Councilman Cormack and the property owners. A meeting was held, and it was concluded that all of the owners affected were not in favor of Downey Improve- ment Projects 717 and 719. However, the affected owners were in favor of Downey Improvement Project 718 and have requested the City not only to pay for engineering and incidental expenses but also the costs for street paving. The City's contribution would be approximatley $3,000, and $2,600 would be assessed to the property owners. Mayor Davila inquired if the City Clerk had received any written protests or objections.

Susan Crowley asked if the City can meet the conditions requested in her letter, and she was told the tree and other items will be taken care of, but anything on private property will have to be worked out since it is not part of the project. There being no one else to speak in favor and no one to speak in opposi- tion, it was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Councilman Santangelo, and so ordered to close the hearing. It was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Councilwoman Boggs, and passed by the following vote to abandon Downey Improvement Projects 717 and 719.

AYES: 4 Council Members: Santangelo, Boggs, Cormack, Davila ABSENT: 1 Council Member: Barb Mayor Davila opened the hearing on Appeal to Permissive Conditional Use Permit No. 4 to operate a commercial farm for the purpose of raising produce for sale off -site on property at 10403 Sherry Avenue. He inquired if the City Clerk had the Proof of Publication, and the response was yes. Council Minutes 6/10/86 -3- It was moved by Councilman Santangelo, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and so ordered to receive and file the Proof. Mr. Cutts reported the property is zoned R1-7500 single family residential and contains 4.27 acres. A number of concerns were raised at the Planning Commission hearings regarding noise emanating from use of a tractor on the property; dust; use of chemicals and pesticides; and air quality. Staff has recommended the applicant wet the soil prior to tilling; provide a driving surface of gravel along the east boundary of Sherry Avenue and the planting of a hedge row of oleander type bushes; and that pesticides be sprayed with a hand pump used primarily during the months of August and September once a month of a type that would be biodegradable and absorbed into the soil within 15 days. Mr. Cutts commented further on staff's recommendations regarding use of chemicals and pesticies and that vehicular access to the property be from Florence and not from Sherry. He narrated a slide presention on the subject property. Mayor Davila inquired if the City Clerk had received any correspondence, and the response was no. It was noted, however, that a petition was previously received and is on file. The applicant was asked to come forward and present his case. Mr. Quang Diep, 2323 E. Harding, Long Beach, distributed photographs of the property and said he has let the weeds grow since the Planning Commission hearing, which are now about three feet high. He noted the location of the complainants to the subject property and indicated an Air Quality Consultant and County Agricultural Inspector are present to answer any questions. Norma (inaudible), 7208 Via Amorita, said she has not witnessed any dust or other problem and favors allowing farming use on the property. Mr. Warren Moore, said he lives north of Florence on Guatemala Avenue, and that the petition he submitted does not concern this issue. There was a peti- tion containing 81 signatures signed by a majority of the neighborhood, filed by a Mr. Martinez. He indicated that planting a hedge on the property would take many years to grow and mentioned the applicant began farming in 1984 without approval of the Council but was informed by letter to file a permit or be forced to stop his operation. Mr. Diep did not file the permit until after seven months and more complaints were received. Mr. Moore also indicated that if the applicant had kept the parkway along Sherry Avenue free from trash and weeds, kept down the dust from plowing, restricted the hours of spraying pesticides, and restricted the working hours so as to not disturb the residents there would not have been a problem. He feels there has been no provision for monitoring or enforcement of this matter by City forces and that commercial farming will create declining property values. Mr. Jose Colon, 7202 Irwingrove Drive, commented on the dust created by farming use of the property. Cheryl Van Rensselaer, 7309 Via Amorita, said there is nothing separating the homes from the field, and the field is a dust bowl. She does not feel it is appropriate to have farming activity so close to homes. Jan Tannyhill, 11919 Pomering Road, mentioned that as a consultant for a company that warehouses Chevron Ortho products, she is familiar with problems of pesticides and their potential dangerous effect to people in an area. Frank Martinez, 7214 Florence Avenue, said the dust blows over his hedge, which is over ten feet tall. The farming activity has awakened him early in the morning on weekends and holidays. Dale Weaver, 7215 Irwingrove Drive, feels the chc-i :c fGr farming has had an effect on the health of his son. There being no one else to speak in opposition, rebuttal time was granted to the applicant. Mr. Diep rebutted comments of the previous speakers and discussed the pro- cedures he uses to conduct a farming activity that will not be detrimental to the neighborhood. He responded to questions of the Council. Mr. Moore was asked if there are any conditions that might have been overlooked to make this matter more acceptable, and he replied no. Council Minutes 6/10/86 -4- It was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Councilman Santangelo, and passed by the following vote to close the hearing. AYES: 4 Council Members: Santangelo, Boggs, Cormack, Davila ABSENT: 1 Council Member: Barb Councilwoman Boggs indicated she does not want to go against what the resi- dents want, but she does not object to the Department of Water & Power utilizing land for another purpose. Councilman Cormack said homeowners have a right to live in the environment in which they purchased their homes, and it is up to the Council to protect that right. Mayor Davila indicated that if citizens have a complaint the Council should listen, and he will vote against the permissive conditional use permit. Councilman Santangelo favored the viewpoint of the residents. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY APPROVING PERMISSIVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 4 The Resolution was read by title only. It was moved by Councilman Santangelo and seconded by Councilwoman Boggs to waive further reading and to adopt. AYES: 1 Council Member: Boggs NOES: 3 Council Members: Santangelo, Cormack, Davila ABSENT: 1 Council Member: Barb Failed. Mr. Newton indicated it will be necessary for staff to bring back a resolu- tion with findings to carry out denial of the permissive conditional use permit. Mayor Davila declared a recess from 9:35 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. The meeting resumed with Council Members Santangelo, Boggs, Cormack, Davila present; Council Member Barb absent. Mayor Davila opened the hearing on Zone Change Case No. 226, 8732-40 Firestone Boulevard, 8711-40 McCahill and 11214-38 Nash Avenue. He asked if the City Clerk had the Proof of Publication, and the response was yes. It was moved by Councilman Santangelo, seconded by Councilwoman Boggs, and so ordered to receive and file the Proof. Councilman Santangelo asked the City Attorney about his eligibility to vote on this matter. Mr. Newton responded it is his understanding this property is west of Lakewood Boulevard, and he feels it is sufficiently remote from Councilman Santangelo's property so that there would be no disqualification problem. Mr. Cutts reported on the request to change the zone from R1-5000 (single family residential) to C-2 (general commercial). A request for zone change was originallly received from property on the northwest corner of the intersection of McCahill and Nash Avenue, but after a review of the area and the City's General Plan land use element, the request was expanded to include all of the properties fronting on Nash Avenue for a total of 17 lots. He narrated a slide presentation of the ar.� .-z:;poriding to questiui,s, FL. Cutts explained this area will be included in proposed Redevelopment Amendment No. 4. When asked if the properties would be subject to eminent domain, he replied the Council pre- viously made decision to not use eminent domain on properties owner -occupied. Mayor Davila inquired if the City Clerk had received any correspondence, and the response was no. Mayor Davila then asked if anyone wished to speak in favor. Alfred Crescenzi, 844 Reed Drive, Claremont, applicant and owner of property at 11215 Nash Avenue and 8732, 8734, 8736, 8740 Firestone Boulevard, mentioned a portion of his property on the corner of Nash and McCahill has been Council Minutes 6/10/86 -5- 0 2G used since 1962 for parking purposes. He outlined his request for zone change from R-1 to C-2 to extend the parking and use the property as temporary storage for a body shop business, which would make the vacant lot useful and eliminate weeds and other debris. Also, the zone change would increase the value of properties in the area. Dr. Jordan Phillips, 9489 Ravi 1ler Drive, commented on the properties he owns on Lakewood Boulevard and 11220, 11224, 11226, 11228, 11230 and 11238 Nash Avenue and favors a major development in this area and change of zone to C-2. There being no one else to speak in favor, Mayor Davila asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition. Mr. Elton Parham, 8712 McCahill, said he has lived at this location for 20 years and urged the Council to not change the zone. The zone change would make his residence a non -conforming use, and the C-2 zone would allow the automobile painting and repair shop to store vehicles on the lot that are waiting to be refurbished and restored. There being no one else to speak in opposition, rebuttal time was granted to the applicant. Mr. Crescenzi agreed cars will be waiting for refurbishing but noted that demand for the vehicles would not allow them to be stored for a long period of time, particularly where insurance is involved. There will be a seven foot wall built around the property used as a storage area, so that the stored vehicles should not be an eyesore to the residents. He responded to questions of the Council. Mr. Cutts noted that in the C-2 zone, the body shop would have to obtain a conditional use permit in order to expand the business, and a requirement would be a seven foot wall. Mr. Parham was asked if he would be agreeable to have his property left as R-1 and the other property being required to install a block wall, and his response was yes. Dr. Phillips indicated he had no concerns about the body shop and it would — not be detrimental to his property. He would be combining his Lakewood Boule- vard property with the Nash Avenue property in any future plans for development. Sharon Newberg, 8725 McCahill, said if only two lots are rezoned, she does not want to be stuck in the middle of commercial property. She would rather see all of the properties re -zoned. It was moved by Councilman Santangelo, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and so ordered to close the hearing. Councilman Santangelo expressed disappointment the proposal is to allow the corner lot on McCahill and Nash to become a storage area for a body repair shop, and he hopes consideration will be given to developing the site for a benefit of the community. Mr. Cutts is concerned about eliminating one property from the proposed zoning and does not consider it good planning practice. Councilman Cormack feels owner -occupied homes should be protected. ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY AMENDING THE ZONING MAP ADOPTED BY SECTION 9106.06 OF THE DOWNEY MUNICIPAL CODE (PLANNING RESOLUTION NO. 928, ZONE CHANGE CASE NO. 226) The Ordinance was read by title only. It was moved by Councilman Santangelo, seconded by Councilwoman Boggs, and passed by the following vote to waive further reading and to introduce. Discussion was held regarding eliminating the one property so that it will remain R-l. Council Minutes 6/10/86 -6- Mr. Parham was asked if he would object to his property being re -zoned and he replied he would withdraw his request and not object since his property is the only one. AYES: 4 Council Members: Santangelo, Boggs, Cormack, Davila ABSENT: 1 Council Member: Barb Mayor Davila opened the hearing on Zone Change Case No. 227, 9355 Stewart and Gray Road. He inquired if the City Clerk had the Proof of Publication, and the respnse was yes. It was moved by Councilman Santangelo, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and so ordered to receive and file the Proof. Mr. Cutts reported on the request to change the zone from R-3 (medium density multiple family residential) to M-2 (general manufacturing) and noted the General Plan designation is heavy industrial. The proposed zone change would bring the zoning of the property in conformance with the General Plan. He narrated a slide presentation. Mayor Davila inquired if the City Clerk had received any correspondence, and the response was no. Mayor Davila then asked if there was anyone present to speak in favor. Mr. Cleo Cochran, 2265 (inaudible), San Jacinto, California, the property owner, spoke in favor of the zone change. There being no one else to speak in favor and no one to speak in opposi- tion, it was moved by Councilman Santangelo, seconded by Councilwoman Boggs, and so ordered to close the hearing.

It was moved by Councilwoman Boggs, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and so ordered to authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to prepare a policy to automatically obtain a restraining order at any time a department head or employee's family is harrassed by a citizen.
