Donald B. Christeson, President of Christeson Co., 2030 East Fourth Street, stated that the reason he did not object at the Planning Commission hearing was that he acquired the property to the east of the proposed development apparently after the tax'rolls were prepared last year, and he was not aware of the Planning Commission hearing; that the Santa Ana Community Hospital was moved to its new location in order to attract new medical facilities; that it was hoped that the hospital investments would be protected by professional and business facil'ities in the new location; that the integrity of the zoning of the area is being chall~nged by this variance request; that this is not a "marginal" area, nor is there any question of hardship; that the area is zoned for professional use and the proposed use is inconsistent; CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 195 JUNE 6, 1977
