AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND MAP The Planning Director noted that the Commission had withheld action after the public hearing on August 29th pertaining to the Zoning Ordinance and Map amendments in view of Mr. Al Browne's and Mr. John Lovasz's request to consider the effect on their property in the recommended change from "RA -B3" to "A" District. The Planning Director noted that Mr.Browne had been in the office and stated that the owners of the Bolton, Brown and Lovasz properties were not objecting to the "A" rezoning, providing the minimum lot size in the "A" District was reduced from two to one and one -half acres.

Administrator Butch noted that the City Council would probably request T c a joint study meeting on the proposed changes and inquired as to the Commission agenda for its next regular meeting. Planning Director Gallop noted that it appeared it would be a very light agenda, and the joint study meeting: was set 8 :00 p.m. if the Council wishes. OFF -SITE IMPROVEMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH PROPERTY TRANSFERS Commissioner Gullickson inquired as to the recommendation made by Mr. Ralph Richards that when properties were transferred from one owner to another, it would be mandatory that curb, gutter and sidewalk be installed. Planning Director Gallop noted that the idea was good, however, the only time that such improvements can now legally be required would'be in con - nection with use permits, variances and lot splits, and also noted that it would be almost impossible to administer because of the difficulty in keeping track of property transfers. Administrator Butch also noted that it would p- robably be a financial burden on many people to have this addition - al expense placed upon them since any cost could not be incorporated into the sales price and would have to be an additional cost after close of escrow. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Commission, on motion by Commissioner Jones, seconded by Commissioner Gullickson, and unanimously carried, the meeting was adjourned at 9 :00 p.m.
