Mayor Bertucelli asked the City Clerk if any protests had been received to which City Clerk Rodondi replied that communications had been received from the South San Francisco Unified School District and Reverend Vieira. Mayor Bertucelli asked at this time if anyone from the School District wished to speak. Dr. Paul Nielsen, Superintendent of the South San Francisco Unified School District, commended the South San Francisco Fire Department for their recent control of a fire at the Weltborough Junior ~ighlchool and stated that the successful opening of the school was due to them. Dr. Nielsen stated that his purpose in being there was to appeal the approval of UP-126. He requested to know if the original decision was wrong, why was it wrong and if the subsequent decision was right, felt entitled to know why it was right. City Attorney Noonan explained the General Plan which showed this area to be designated Community Park area and which, by the Zoning Ordinance, showed the McClellan parcel to be #U" classification. He further explained the functions of the recommending body and the functions of the decision-making body. He stated if CounCil so desires to grant the Use Permit, suggested that it be granted by condition effective upon the modification of the General Plan. Mr. Joseph ZlltUnich, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated that this was not in violation of the General Plan and that the change in the vote fromm negative to an affirmative vote was the result of a misunderstanding, later clarified. Discussion followed among Mayor Bertucelli, Dr. Nielsen, Mr. Zlatunich concerning a previous understanding that the area was to be used by a church and a survey of the neighborhood which resulted in no complaints to the granting of Councilman Maeadni commented that the area was originally planned as open space park area and the only wa~ to control open space is through the Use Permit process with use of the lowest density. Discussion followed concerning the difficulties of such property privately ownedt restrictions placed upon the owner; and the original plan for the parcel as proposed for a church. Further discussion followed concerning an access road to the school property adjacent to the Botieff parcel. Reverend Vieira at this time submitted a petition signed by adjacent property owners, pro~estsin~.the granting of~P-126. He stated that he was not at all satisfied with the explanation given and requested consideration to the welfare of the people residing in that area. He felt the integrity of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan was in Jeopardy if exceptions were continued to be allowed. Mr. Robert Lorenzini, 327 Camaritas Avenue, spoke in protest, that another 18 units would overcrowd an already-dense area. He also stated that no one from the Planning Commission had contacted him for his opinion and he lives five doors from the proposed project. Mr. Donald Gamma, 3790 Cork Place, spoke of his uneasiness in seeing changes allowed in a very good General Plan recently adopted. He commented that he could forsee developers cutting the amount of open space which had been intended for parks, churches and even schools. He requested Council to give careful consideration to the protests. Discussion followed concerning the rights of the property owners~ school district and the developer! the matter of 25-feet driveways; and a finding with regard to parking. Further discussion followed concerning a suggested street which would divide the pro- posed parcel in two; whether or not the school district would entertain a land swap or financial contribution. Dr. Nielsen explained at this time the map which had been drawn by City Planner Pass showing how this land could be developed into a residential area and that the school district never had such development in mind and again explained the desirability of a side road to their property for the proposed use of approximately ~30 youngsters and the servicing of such a facility. After discussion concerning the impossibility of a land swap, the shortage of school district funds, Councilman Rocca cc~mented that there should be further study before Council could pass on the matter. In response to Reverend Vieira. City Attorney Noonan explained the procedure for the resubmittal of the Use Permit. At this time, City Attorney Noonan suggested that the matter not be sent back to the Planning Commission but left on a staff level with an approach to the school district, Mr. Botieff and possibly, the McClellan interests to work out the problem. In answer to Mayor Bertucelli's inquiry, City Attorney goonan stated that the area was zoned "U" Unclassified. Mr. William Botieff spoke in behalf of his development which had been presented over six months ago. He further commented that he had submitted a petition signed by adjacent owners, favoring his development, whom he personally contacted and showed the set of plans of what he intended to build.
