He further stated that Rosemead has a very well balanced zoning plan. Gordon Skinner, 4628 No. Ivar Avenue stated that the east side of Ivar Avenue north of Mission Drive should be made R -3 at this time as there is extensive apartment development on Rosemead Boulevard. Harry Higley, 8518 E. Valley Boulevard, stated that the aligning of zones would apply to his property and should be considered at this time as he has a Zone Change Case on file for this very reason. PC 10 -1 -63 Chairman Wilt explained that this property is M -1 and A -1 and therefore is not the same situation as properties on Rosemead Boulevard. Donald Meek, 4456 Palermo Drive, Los Angeles, stated that the triangular piece of property at Lower Azusa Road and Encinita was shown as M -1 on the General Plan and wondered why it was not shown as such on the new zone map. Chairman Wilt explained that the Commission was not recommending any zone changes such as this type as they feel the property owners should be notified individually. Therefore a zone change should be filed. Elsie Schill, 8756,Ei Mission Drive, explained that her property is split length wise with Cpl zone and A =1 zones and would like to see it all C zones Chairman Wilt explained this location would be considered at a special study meeting. Mrs, Gussie Lewiston, 3161 No, Rosemead Place, asked if the 5,000 sq. foot minimum on R -1 zones would still apply? She was answered that 5,000 sq. feet is the minimum lot area on R -1 zones. Commissioner Casares stated the Commission is considering holding studies in depth on all the properties brought up tonight to determine the possibility of Commission initiated zone changes. J. A. Berk, P.O. Box 69825, Los Angeles 69, spoke in regard to the corner property at Encinita and Lower Azusa Road. Mrs. Irene Richardson Baker, 8472 East Mission Drive, representing Kate Richardson and James Richardson (nephew) questioned the uses permitted if their property were changed to R -1. At the present time this property is being used for nursery products and garden- ing. Attorney Hassenplug explained that under the new zoning ordinance this would be a legal non conforming use for three (3) years. Mrs. Baker stated that she would not object to the R -1 zone for their properties. Chairman Wilt declared a recess reconvened at 9 :30 o'clock p.m. Mrs. Baker stated she has given this property to remain A -l. A when the property sells and the situation. For the present tim of the nursery, etc. at 9:20 o'clock p.m. Meeting this some thought and requested zone change can be applied for new owner can handle this A -1 would be the best use because The Commissioners held considerable discussion regarding the uses permitted in the A -1 zone expecially if a sale took place in the future, then the new owner would have extensive uses under the provisions of the ordinance.
