in the area are extremely narrow. In order for emergency vehicles to pass through, it would
be necessary to have no parking on the streets. Therefore if this is granted the garages

overhang over the sidewalk. City Manager McClung then remarked that this distance shomld be

Assembly of God Church, be accepted. Rev. Curtwright stated that his application as made was

to be lighted only on service nights until 9:30 P. m. Councilman Smith stated he could see
Rev. Curtwright,s point as this is ~ot an application but a substitute. Counc~lman Sani asked
Rev. Curtwright if he attended the Planning Camnission meeting to which he replied that he had.
Mr. Robinson and Mr. Kay, both members of the Planning Camnission, stated that the first appli-
cation warn rejected and that they were holding to the mininmun size as in other cities in the
Peninsula. City Attorney Lyons stated that the Planning Ccmnission denied the first applicatiol
but ha-~e given permission to erect a 3' x 2' cross if they so wish. Councilman Smith remarked
to City Attorney Lyons that this leads one to believe that this was the original application
as applied for. City Attorney Lyons stated that on the face this could be misleading But that
the explanation of Mr. Kay and Mr. Robinson clarified what had taken place. He further
that it could be referred back to the Planning C~Ission with an explanation. Councilman
Smith moved to rescind the last act and again vote on the matter as now understood. Councilman
Noonan stated that before rescinding we should consider that approval was given a 3' x 2' sign~
He suggested that it be allowed to stand with the proviso that it in no way limits the appli-
cation for another application on a modification or a larger sign. Councilman Smith voted
under a misapprehension. Rev. Curtwright remarked that he felt it would do no good to return
it to the Planning Commission as it would be turned down. Mr. Kay stated that there was no
argument but that the Planning Cammission w~s trying to live up to the ordinance and that this
was contrary. Rev. Curtwright stated that the city gave permission to construct the church
aha did not see why it should restrict the size of the cross. City Attorney Lyons explained
the ordinance with respect to the issue. Councilman Smith stated that the application should
have been on a Variance and Adjustment Permit and not on a Use Permit to which City Attorney
Lyons stated that since the lighted sign was in an R-1 district, it should be on a Variance
and A~Justment and should go back to the Planning C~m, ission. Also that the applicant should
be notified. Councilman~Smith moved, seconded by Councilman Sani and regularly carried, that
the council rescind the previous motion and return it to the Planning Commission.
Use Permit ~332 as applied for by Allin McCahon was next introduced. Mayor Cortesi raised an
objection to the granting of more greenhouses in residential areas, stating that this might be
the cause of future complaints from the residents. Councilman Sani stated that he was in
agreement with the Mayor that residential areas are now being built up. If the city allowed
greenhouses, he stated, it would prevent residential areas from being built. Councilman Smith
stated that recently a permit was given for greenho~ses in a residential area. Councilman
Sani stated that this business was already established and that the case was that additions
were being made to the business and that the present residents are used to the business in the
vicinity.
Councilman Noonan asked for an opinion from the City AttorneY to which he explained that the
Planning Ccmnission,s thought was that it was an already established business and that council
action could delegate approval or disapproval. Councilman Smith moved, seconded by Councilman
Noonan and regularly carried, that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be accepted.
