He saicT the request had been denied after two hearings by a vote of 5 to 0 but owner was assured the , �'�-'� Commission is studying zoning of deep lots and relief would be forthcoming. He felt Council should not upset the unanimous recommendation of'the Planning Commission. 462 Councilman Chatfield suggested deferring decision one more meeting for re- consideration by the Planning Commission but said five months is too long to ask people to wait for an answer. . Councilman Denny stated the important principle involved is that the public is entitled to prompt, decisive;consistent action from City Agencies. He said first in quiries about the rezoning of Orsini property had been made in.J,uly and he felt a decision should be rendered in a much shorter period. He sp'oke of the heavy work load carried by the sta�f in the Planning Department and suggested an increase in the staff to make prompt action possible. He said he will endorse the recommendation of the City Manager to hire additional pe:rs:on•ne1 in order to make the General Plan current. He opposed freezing of rezoning requests until study is completed but said each application should be considered on Planning merit. He concluded with the request that Council approve the .rezoning. �� � ` Councilman Kriegsman disagreed with previous statem.ents saying that action has been taken by Planning Commission in denying the request o� the basis of spot zoning and that the issue is now being considered on appeal. He felt the Rlanning Commission should study modified zoning to remedy the situ�.tion as < . a whole. He stated Council should not in a few minutes overrule the recom- mendation of a Commission which has given much time and study to the request.

CiTY GENERAL PLAN � City Manager Cowden and Planning Director Keyes submitted a recommenda- tion dated November 27, 1963 that steps be taken to revise the existing General Plan.

It was also recommended that for�an initial period of six months with the six months limitation period to be reviewed at the end of the time that Council adopts �a policy specifically limiting rezoning applications that will be �consider- ed by the Planning Commission'and/or':by�C'ouncil to the following categories: ' a.

Magnin and the development company for a fashion type shopping.center, permitting only stores providing merchandise for the unsatisfied sales potential.
