Mark Layport, 4705 Calder Lane, spoke saying he was told that the vacant lot across from his property would be zoned for low density single story apartments or condominiums, a church or a park. He felt it would be premature to address a zone change to a higher density level without addressing health hazards and possibility of reducing property values. Minutes, PC, 6/17/93 Page 13 Chairman pOWers stated this appliCation is to correct a mapping error which was created in development of the 2010 General Plan. Kim Mayberry spOke saying she lives on Calder Lane. She felt they were misrepresented and that the health hazards of subject lot needs to be investigated.

She said all property owners were told that there would be single-family homes on subject lot. Commissioner Rosenlieb gave a history of the 'zoning for this property saying this property has been zoned R-2 since the early 1980's, at that time the general plan amendment showed it as HMR. Mr. Layport said they are stating their opposition to changing the map. Commissioner Hersh felt a'requirement needs to be made to eliminate the misleading of property owners. Discussion continued regarding the need for consistency of zoning with the general plan. Roger Mclnt°sh spoke on behalf of Castle & Cooke Development Corporation, stating they view this application as an administrative act and not a legislative act as it was to initiate a Clean-up Of an error on the 2010 General Plan. He stated oppositi°n to any conditions of approval which would preclude this property from developing in the manner similar to any other multi-family property as designated in the goals and policies of the 2010 Plan. He also said they did not feel the school's request for mitigatiOn other than the need for a fee of $2.65 per square foot, should be supported. Dennis Scott, Kern High School District, spoke saying their mitigation requirement is based on what is received by staff. If staff indicates no additional impact is caused, they would not request additional mitigation. Responding-to queStions by Commissioner Messner, Ms. Marino said she did not feel the commission should have a problem with finding that no additional impacts would be caused due to subject action, since no additional density would be created.

Commissioner Powers asked about the requirement for a traffic impact study, Mr. Hardisty Said this is a requirement that would be required ~f a subdivision, and could be premature to require it at this stage. Commissioner Powers stated he could not support the'motion with inclusion of this condition. Commissioner Slocumb asked if there is a way that what exists can be reviewed so that errors can be dealt with quickly. Mr. Hardisty said effort is made to find and correct these er-r0rs.

Commissioner Messner felt if the majority of land owners are not in agreement with the zOning it would be premature. He said he had no problem with continuing this matter and discussing it further. Commissioner R0senlieb said felt the future R-1 property owners needs should be taken into consideration. She felt a meeting should be held to discuss the zoning with the property owners before taking action. Responding to qUestions by Commissioner Rosenlieb, Mr. Kloepper said if the portion of Calloway is-needed for access to homes it will not be abandoned past that point. Commissioner Powers felt for the sake of harmony of zoning that the C-2 zoning needed to be carried all the way across to Calloway. Minutesd PC~ 6/17/93 .
