Same
A triangular shaped 23,200 square
feet located on the northeast
corner of, and with frontages of
167 feet on Encinita Avenue and
292 feet on Lower Azusa Road
The applicant states that the change of zone is warranted because
a railroad right of way is located adjacent to the northeast
side of the property beyond which there is industrial zoning;
that a State Division of Highway's maintenance station is located
across the street to the west and that the property to the south
is separated from the subject property by Lower Azusa Road.

2. Adjacent to the north is a railroad right of way beyond
which is a vacant industrial parcel, water plant and single family
residences. The area to the south is fully developed with single
family residences to the southwest. A school is located on the
southeast corner of Lower Azusa Road and Encinita Avenue and to
the west is a State Division of Highway's maintanance station.
3. The basic zoning of A -1 in the area was established in
the Rosemead District in 1933, adopted by City of Rosemead and
changed to R -1 by City Ordinance 118 in November, 1963. The
zoning to the north is in the City of Temple City."
Advisor Cushman administered the oath to those wishing to testify
at this public hearing.
Chairman Wilt declard the Public Hearing open at 8:02 o'clock p.m.
Mr. Wilson, realtor, stated that the General Plan of the City
recommends M -1 zone for this location and that this property
would be ideal for a small service station.
Mr. Mau, owner of property across Lower Azusa Road from the
subject property, stated that all the property to the south should
be rezoned to Commercial or Manufacturing. If his property re-
mains R -1 then he would object to this Zone Change.

piece of property has no value whatsoever zoned R -1. There is
a sale pending this zone change and he definitely feels a change
to M -1 would make this lot usable.
