Most property owners felt that the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) controls were adequate, and that the City should not add further controls. Property owners also expressed their feelings that any public access through a 100' setback would be dangerous and in some cases virtually impossible due to the characteristics of their operations or the existing topography The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Teglia moved that any action on this matter be deferred until the meeting of April 22 to allow staff time to prepare recommendations based on the testimony presented during the public hearing and to allow the Commission to arrange a field trip to meet with the owners at their respective properties. Commissioner Lazzari seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously by those who were present. UP-290 MODIFIED UP-290, Modified, a request of Federal Sign and Signal Corporation (J. C.

(Amendment of Section 2~2 of Ordinance 353) Secretary Hale read the staff report. Speakers: Douglas Butler 133 Adrian So. San Francisco, CA 94080 Mr. Butler requested a continuation of the public hearing on this matter until the question regarding zoning controls as applied to Bay front properties is resolved.

Possible alternate routes were discussed. Commissioner Slade and Acting Chairman Mullin expressed an interest in this expansion, providing there would be suitable public access from the parking lot to Kaiser Hospital, by underground passages or overpasses. Commissioners Lazzari, Raffaelli, and Teglia were adverse to the proposed extension because of its crossing directly through Kaiser's property. However, the Commission was in agreement that there is a definite need for access from Mission to El Camino some- where between the proposed Hickey Blvd. extension and Chestnut Avenue. The Commission requested staff to develop alternative alignments for the connection between Mission Road and El Camino Real.
