Keyes saicl the Plannirig Commission now recommends that the parcel owned by Mrs. McBride be reclassified from C-3-P to a CO-BR District with _ the understanding that it intends to exercise Architectural Control on future de,velopment proposed for the property. The ,; .Commission also..recommended that the other parcels shown as proposed to.be considered for R-2 and R3-15 Districts, including the property of-Helen Generes, remain classified as a R-1 District. Mrs. Generes appeared before Council and protested the Planning Commission recommendation. She believes that CO-BR zoning of her property,would upgrade: the area. She, referred to the heavy traffic on. California S,treet.which is not compatible with R-I zoning. She also made reference to the Use Permit granted to her which has a termination date which was not required in the case of other Use Permits granted in the area, and also the limitation of employees on her Us.e_Permit. She feels it is discriminatory to rezone Mrs. Mc B ride's ,p;rope rty a s C�O,B R and.not include he r p rope rty in the same rezoning. . .
