that ._C~C.&R)s reviewed and approved by staff could be added to provide that the
new hOmeOwner's association would be responsible for maintenance of the

conditiOns.
Commissioner Delgado asked for clarification on the city's feeling of the
appropriate Process, Ms. Marino clarified what has been approved and that the
final development plan is being heard to determine consistency with the original
P.U.D. zoning. :Therefore she felt the best process for the commission to take is
that of bringing it back so that a public hearing can be held. She recommended
that what is before the commission is not consistent with the P.U.D. zoning.

Minutes, PC, 6/17/93 Page 6
he said they intend to continue to stagger as in phase 1, however would like to
have some flexibility with regard to this, therefore requesting that Condition #'s
13-B and 13-D be left as they exist in the original staff report. He asked that
wording be added to Building Department Condition #5 of the .tentative tract
regarding the masonry wall so that the last sentence reads as follows: "Pursuant
to Zone Change #5474, a masonry wall shall be installed prior to occupancy
adjacent~to the canal for Tract 5673."
Mr. Fidler stated his concern with change to condition #5 would be that masonry
walls could be constructed making it difficult to access the canal. He felt possibly -
it should be worded such that it be done prior to the first occupancy. Mr.
McIntosh was agreeable to this.
Public portion of the hearing was closed.
Responding to questions by Commissioner Rosenlieb, Mr. Hardisty said he did
not feel the conditions proposed by staff were an undue burden on the applicant.

Staff report was given.
Public portion of the hearing was opened.
James McPhetridge, 4613 Calder, spoke stating originally when he purchased the
property they were told subject property would be single level homes. He stated
his view has been obstructed and was concerned about possible contamination in
the area and reduction of his property values.
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 felt the character of the neighborhood would be destroyed with this
development.
Commissioner SlOcumb asked Ms. Mayberry for an estimate of homes facing this
lot. She stated 9-10. 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.
Public portion of the hearing was closed.

Commissioner Powers asked about the requirement for a traffic impact study, Mr.

could be premature to require it at this stage. Commissioner Powers stated he
could not support the'motion with inclusion of this condition.

that errors can be dealt with quickly. Mr. Hardisty said effort is made to find and

Sherry Parker stated .she owns property in the area and is opposed to being
annexed t° the City. She stated she could foresee problems with her island of
agricultural property being in the middle of R-1 zoning, with respect to her horse
activities. She was concerned about the request by the applicant for
encroachment into the required setback from agricultural property. She
.requested that her property be rezoned to R-1. Mr. Hardisty stated her property
would be grandfathered for. the uses that currently exist and she would have 40
years to discontinue these uses.

Public portion of the hearing was closed.

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.
