PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING CASE NO. 73 -66, HUASNA ROAD, RA -B3 TO R -G DISTRICT (MUDGE, FELTY AND LANGFORD). Director Gallop advised the requested zone change is on a parcel of property approximately 7 acres in size and is located to the south of Huasna Road between the road and the creek, and across from Rosewood Lane. He pointed out that the General Plan notes possible medium density for this area. Upon being assured by Director Gallop that public hearing for Rezoning Case No. 73 -66 had been duly posted, published and property owners notified, Chairman Jones declared the hearing open. Mr. Douglas Langford was present and stated he was one of the petitioners, and they are interested in developing this property in line with the needs of the City, and that they have been working with Mr. Gallop in this respect. Director Gallop advised he has been talking with these gentlemen on and off for a year or more now, and they have discussed the possibilities of every type use, and he had advised them against considering mobllehome park or commercial usage. Mr. Gallop referred to a similar rezoning on Fair Oaks Avenue where a density control was attached to the rezoning by a "D" override, and perhaps this could be considered on this application. No further discussion for or against the proposed zone change, Chairman Jones declared the hearing closed. In answer to Commissioner Gullickson's question, Director Gallop described the property as being directly across from the Pearwood and Rosewood subdivisions which are 100% developed, There is no subdivision on the south, side of the road until you get up to the Crown Hill area, however, there is a mobllehome park and some single family homes on acreages. He advised that the property in question is an old orchard that hasn't been cultivated for a number of years, and the flower fields are directly west of the property. It was the Commission's feeling that there is possibly too much multiple zoning within the City now and that R -1 development in this area would probably be more desirable. They further indicated they might be more inclined to go along with a development of the type indicated if they had some idea of what is being proposed with regard to density, open space, etc. Mr. Langford stated they would like to sell the units, with the owners setting up local government for outside care. It was their feeling this would be type of development for a second home for Los Angeles city dwellers, etc. He advised they have looked at the market and, from the developments going in, it didn't seem that there was too much building going on right now for tJis medium priced .home.' . Their proposal would be for a condominium type or group ownership development. After considerable discussion among the Commissioners, on motion by Commissioner Pope, seconded by Commissioner Spierling, and unanimously carried, 1 Arroyo Grande Planning Commission, 1 -16 -73 Page 3 that Rezoning Case No. 73 -66 be continued to the next regular meeting, and the developers submit more detailed information as to density, type of architecture, and some type of detailed plot plan showing the proposed development.
