In the absence of Commissioner Diedericksen, Chairman Henderson appointed Commissioner Stivers acting Secretary. 1. Mr. Elmer Skinner, who at the regular meeting of the Commission on February 28, 1955 applied for reclassification of property known as 1204 El Camino Real (lot 2, Block 17, Burlingame Grove subdivision) from R-3 to C-1, further addressed the Commission. Mr. Skinner again contended that the property had been under a commercial classification since time of initial construction and added that it was the only business rezoned to R-3 when the overall zoning plan was instigated some 12 or 14 months ago, which he feels is discriminatory. Mr. Skinner further presented a set of plans of the remodeling and a picture showing the signs to be used. Commissioner Martin suggested that the signs be modified in size and Mr. Skinner agreed that they should be in proportion to the size of the front of the building. Chairman Henderson upon inquiry was advised by Mr. Skinner that the structural changes within the building would be few, that the remodeling would be more or less restricted to the front of the building. It was agreed by the Commission that this matter be held for action at its next regular meeting on March 28, 1955. Planning Commission - Study Meeting, March 15, 1955 Page #2 2.

On behalf of his client, Mr. Gates wished to be assured that this type of venture would be accepted by the Commission beforo making an extremely heavy financial investment.

After a general discussion Chairman Henderson requested that a more detailed description of the lot be provided and that special attention be paid to the traffic situation with the idea of remedying some of the difficulties which presented themselves. 3.
