There was held public hearing, as advertised, on the change of zone and use of
property from "commercial" to "apartment" zone, described as follows:
Lots 13 to 17, inclusive, Block No. 46, and Lots 1 to 5, inclusive, Block No. 1+7,
in Lyon and Hoag Subdivision, Burlingame, California.
No petition was presented for or against the change of zone. Mrs. Stone, owner of Lots
1 to 5, inclusive, Block 47, appeared and inquired if it was the intention of the Planning
Commission to sell the city lots included in the area to be rezoned. The Chairman ex-
plained to Mrs. Stone that the Planning Commission did not have in contemplation a recom-
mendation of disposal of the city lots, which are under the jurisdiction of the City Council
and if the city property were to be disposed of, it would be handled as a public sale and
not part of an action to rezone. The present action is intended to change the zoning of
Lots 13 to 17 inclusive, Block 46, and Lots 1 to 5 inclusive, Block 47, to conform to the
developed use of most of these lots and to eliminate what amounts to spot zoning in this
area which is zoned for apartment use. In the discussion which ensued, Mrs. Stone acknowl-
edged that the predominant use of the lots referred to is apartment, but she is holding two
lots for future business development and therefore did not favor a change of zone to apart-
ment. Mr. John F. Appleton appeared and inquired if the playground lots would be for sale
if rezoned. City Attorney Karmel, at the request of the Chairman, responded that all city
property is in the control of the City Council and a sale would be a matter of public pro-
ceeding. After consideration Commissioner Mitchell made a motion, seconded by Commissioner
Brown, that Lots 13 to 17 inclusive, Block 46, and Lots 1 to 5 inclusive, Block 47, be re-
zoned from "commercial" to "apartment." On roll call the vote in favor of the motion was
unanimous. I /
Mr. Basil W. Waters, Jr. of James and Waters, civil engineers, presented a tenta-
tive plan for the resubdivision of Lots 14 to 18 inclusive, Block 3, Glenwood Park No. 2.
This property is located at the intersection of Cypress Avenue and Barriolhet Avenue. The
map, which was presented, indicated that the proposed plan would resubdivide 5 lots into 7
lots of irregular shape, containing approximately 5,000 to 6.,000 square feet. The commis-
sioners, in considering the matter, stated that the Planning Commission generally has not
looked with favor upon the resubdivision of lots in an established residential area and the
matter should be tabled for investigation and consideration at the next meeting of the
Planning Commission.
The City Building Inspector presented plans for duplex structures to be erected
on Lots 17 and 18, Block 8, Easton Addition No. 1, Paloma Avenue, which were approved.
