He then commented on the statement made by Mr. Wynn regarding the State's taking of Callan's land, remarking that the State did not take the land but that Mr. Callan had been paid for it. Mr. Gamma urged the City Council to not grant the rezoning but that it be left for a Planned Community. In answer to Mayor Bertucelli's inquiry concerning how the commercial corners had been subdivided or placed in the area, City Attorney Noonan in detail explained how Ordinance No. 511 codified that Planned District. His explanation came from the map which was part of Ordinance No. 511 and had been obtained From the office of the City Clerk. He further explained the commercial planning and multiple family area.

Mr. Ted Wright of Dan Coleman & Associates spoke in favor of the rezoning application, explaining the total area which originally was planned for commercial development and the area which had been lost for highway purposes as well as the area which was unusable for commercial development. He then explained to Council the ratio of commercial develop- ment to residential development, stating that he felt the rezoning request was not unreason able, concluding by mentioning the buffer zone which was to be placed between the multiple family and commercial developments.

He then remarked on the proposed use of King and Skyline Boulevards as an off-ramp, asking as to how this was to be known at this time since it had not been determined as to how long before the freeway was to be completed and that changes could take place before its completion. In answer to the remark that a hilly area was to be used as a buffer zone, he stated that a buffer zone could be quickly removed by the use of earth-moving machinery which could fill a hollow and eventually be used for future development. Mr. Ichiro Sasaki, representing the Caesar Callan Homes, Inc., spoke in favor of the rezoning, reciting the area which had been lost by Callan to the State for freeway pur- poses. From the Use of a plat, he explained to those present the area which was proposed to be used as a commercial development, stating that sound, proper planning called for this type of development.

Discussion then followed between Mr. Gamma and Mr. Sasaki concerning the development of properties owned by the Callans, after which Mrs. Ethel Hunt, 2601Farnee Court~ stated that she still had a brochure which had been given to her by the Callans at the time that she purchased her home and that there was nothing in the brochure to indicate that the site was to be used for a future gas station. 154 PUBLIC HEARING APPEAL FROM P.C. RESO. NO. 2105 - RZ-14 WESTBOROUGH-WEST PA~K #1 ~ (CO~INU~) Mr. Thomas Callan, 2790 Junipero Serra Boulevard, Daly City, replied that all persons who either inquired or bought homes in the area were given this. brochure which showed the commercial area to be developed.

Brief discussion then followed between Mr. Ken,Goslin, 3786 Cork Place, and Mr. Callan relative to the ability of the developers to obtain from the City what they desire. Mr. Daniel Pass, speking as City Planner, gave his views as to the proper development of the area, stating that over-commercialization could be realized and that the com- mercial development should be in accordance with the needs. It was his recommendation that the rezoning'he denied.

City Planner Pass explained that as Secretary to the Planning Commission, it was his duty to sub~t to the City Council the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission; but that, in addition to being Secretazy to the Planning Commission, he was also the City Planner and that as City Planner, recommended against the rezoning. Discussion then followed between Councilman Ahem and City Planner Pass concerning the location of service stations within the area to which Mr. Pass replied that Callan had been trying to have the area rezoned for bur years but that it was not in accordance with the City's General Plan. Councilman Mammini commented that one important point was being lost which was that the City had a Planned Community Ordinance which had been accepted by everyone and which delineated the development of the area. Mr. David Friedenberg, 2395 Bourbon Court, commented on the information which was given to the people at the time that they bought their homes and that what was re- quested of the Callans at the present was not mentioned. He commented on the Petitions which had been submitted by the residents who were concerned, stating that the City Council should consider the feelings of the people and reject the request for rezoning. Mr. Bruce Rosengren commented on the need for any further gas station developments in their area, listing those presently located and those which were proposed. He then read a definition of a Planned Community concluding that he did not feel right for Mr. Callan to dictate the type of development he wanted in this area. Mr. Wynn at this time introduced Mr. Frank Jacobs of the Gulf Oil Company, requesting that he speak concerning the matter of the rezoning. Mr. Frank Jacobs, real estate representative for Gulf Oil Company, stated that his company had an escrow with Callan for the past five years on the location in question for a service station since it filled their demands. Discussion then followed at which time Councilman Mammini commented on the matter of the escrow deposit, stating that he could not understand why the money was left on deposit when it was known that the area was designated as Planned Community and not commercial. Further discussion then followed concerning the matter of the commercial development and the use of the Pacific Gas & Electric Company's right of way and the development of the Pacific Gas & ~lectric Company's right of way. Mr. Joseph Flores, a resident of West Park, stated that the Council was the people's elected representative and that they were expressing themselves to the City Council that they did not want additional gas stations. Mr. A1 King, representing the Serramonte Homeowners' Association, stated that while he was not a resident of the City, their area was adjacent to the Westborough Subdivision where the proposed rezoning was being requested. He mentioned that if the area were allowed to be developed in the manner in which it was proposed, would be an area which would attract teenagers from surrounding communities. He cited the potential police problems which could result, stating that because of the neighboring cities, juveniles could avoid police action quite easily. Mr. Richard Gill, resident of West Park, stated that he enjoyed his hGme, stating that it was his feeling that Council would make the right recommendation, concluding by remarking that one service station already had closed because of lack of business and that there was no need for others. Mr. Julto Colorado stated that he bought his home in this area because of the representa- tions made to him by the Callans and commented that the future development by Callan of commercial development would he detrimental to this residential area. Mr. Eugene Flynn, 3701Erris Court, stated that his children attending school would be waking along Callan Boulevard and further development of a commercial area would be a hazard not only to the safety of his children but to others as well and objected to the rezoning. Mr. Edward Toby, representing the Westborough Homeowners' Improvement Association, commented on the escrow deposits of Gulf Oil Company, asking as to how many others Mr. Callan now had in escrow for future gas station sites. He stated that a commercial area ~lready established was not occupied and could not understand why the Council would allow further development. He requested the City Council to follow the wishes of the electorate and voiced opposition to the rezoning. 15 PUBLIC HEARING APPEAL FROM P.C. RESO.
