Burlingame Avenue and Peninsula Avenue which had been prepared at their request. After a brief review of the entire report, members offered a number of specific suggestions to implement possible changes and improvements in the area. The report proposes that an additional zone classification be added to the zoning code which will provide for- am�,a:.tisic-faily use of a lower density than the existing R-3 zone. The Oi.ssi.on agreed that this would be a desirable classification and asked that the Planner and City Attorney prepare the material for public hearing in the near future. On the Question of the areas or blocks where the new zone might be applied, there were a number of suggestions and this matter will be discussed further. T`i'►e report proposes a strip of approximately equal width to provide a transition from the present R-3 zone to the R-1 zone. Qxmissiono r Brauner thought that the easterly boundary be Dwight Road since this would include an area where time street widths and lot sizes were similar. The comissioners agreed that the blocks between Howard and Burlingame Avenues should not be included because of their good condition. in any event, all agreed that the first step should be the amendment of the code to provide the zone classification. On the matter of the Peninsula Avenue frontage frasm Dwight easterly, there was agreement that these properties might be subject to reclass- ification at some later date but the small lots precluded any higher density than R-2. The opinion was expressed that it would be wise to wait until the apartment complex was built in San ,ate* opposite to observe the effect. Cormaissioner Brauner suggested that a small shopping center might be created at II�sight and Peninsula. The problem of small lots and many ownerships would make this difficult but some way might be Found to get a single developer who could put it together. There was agreement that no strip commercial zone should be allowed and that =- all individual stores would be economically difficult if not ampo;�sible. f Other coonents: Commissioner Norbearg. Where older proportion can be replaced by new and better structures, the whole City benefits. Commissioner Sdwards. Classifications and conditions should be spelled out in the code to eliminate many variance applications so that every property owner in a srpeci.fied area is given equal treatment. C issi.oner Cistulli. The economics of business is wing it very difficult for small swops and independent store owners and only large shopping centers, adequately financed. can survive. noted by George A. Mann
