    REZONING (Z-13-59) The Commission considered the application of Richard Tam for reclassification Richard Tam of property generally located on the north side of San Francisco Avenue and east of Industrial Road, legally described as a portion of the S½, SE¼, Section 4, Approved T 21 S, R 61 E, M.D.B. & M. from R-4 to C-1. Approval recommended by the Planning Commission. There was one approval and one protest. Director of Planning Bills explained that a C-1 zoning does not permit a filling station except by use permit; however, it is his understanding that if this application is approved the owner of this property intends to immediately make application for a permit to allow a filling station. He further explained that is the reason for the written protest from W. S. Robinson of the Robinson Hotel Apartments, 200-A West San Francisco Avenue, which he had just presented to the Commission. Mayor Pro Tem Whipple asked if Mr. Tam would still want the C-1 zoning even though the use permit for the filling station was denied, and a gentleman representing Mr. Tam stated that he would. Commissioner Sharp moved that the application of Richard Tam for reclassification of property generally located on the north side of San Francisco Avenue and east of Industrial Road, legally described as a portion of the S½, SE¼, Section T 21 S, R 61 E, M.D.B. & M., from R-4 to C-1 be approved as recommended by the Planning Commission and the City Attorney instructed to prepare the necessary ordinance amendment.
