This being the time heretofore set for the public hearing on the application of V. D. Eachus and W. J. Josephson for rezoning of the SE¼ of the SE¼ of Section 21 T20S, R6lE, MDB&M from R-3, R-4 and C-2 to R-4 and C-2, generally described as that property located between Harrison Street and the North City limits, west of H Street extended and east of the extension of J Street extended, the matter was considered by the Board. His Honor asked if there were any objections to the granting of this rezoning. There were no protests voiced. Commissioner Whipple asked the applicants if they had any objection to the Commission granting a Use Permit instead of rezoning this property. Mr. McDonald, speaking for the applicants stated that the only drawback would be in the possible inability of the developers of this proposed project securing the required financing. Mr. McDonald asked if a Use Permit was revocable. City Attorney Howard W. Cannon answered that a Use Permit was not revocable unless the developer used the property for another purpose than for which the permit is granted. Thereafter Commissioner Sharp moved that the application of E. L. Josephson and V. D. Eachus to reclassify this property be held in abeyance and a Use Permit granted to the applicants to use the property in accordance with their proposed general plans; said Use Permit to expire at the end of six months unless construction shall be commenced by then. Motion seconded by Commissioner Jarrett and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor Mayor Baker voting aye; noes, none. This being the time heretofore set for the public hearing on the application of Rancho Drive Realty to rezone Block 3, El Centro Addition, Tract No. 2 from R-2, R-3 and R-4 to C-d, the matter was considered by the Board. His Honor asked if there were any objections to the granting of this rezoning. The following property owners appeared and protested on the basis that the proposed rezoning would devaluate surrounding property, increase traffic and would prefer the area to remain as residential zoning: Mr. Nathaniel Austin Mr. and Mrs. Lester Goldring 2013 Santa Paula E.
