CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

FEBRUARY 17, 1976
Charles Zimmerman, Planning Director, stated that the Planning
Commission had unanimously denied the Variance Application
because the Commissioners felt that it was an intrusion into
a fine, well-established residential neighborhood in the north-
west area of the City; that the Applicant requested waiver
of six off-street parking spaces which would be required; that
there is no on-street parking; and that the City offers many
fine professional areas from which to choose for the location
of his practice.
Dr. David Wilson, Appellant, stated that the location is situated
at Broadway and Santa Clara, a major commercial intersection;
that the other three corners are commercial; that he wishes
to make no structural changes whatsoever; that he just wishes
to see a few patients in his home; that there are parking
spaces on Santa Clara, and space in his back yard; that he
will use no signs; and there will be no way to tell how it is
used; that this is a unique location, a buffer property; that
there are 15,000 cars passing the intersection daily; and
that he requests that the Variance be granted to him personally,
so that when the property is sold it would revert back to
residential. He filed a letter from his neighbors at 2310
North Park Boulevard, Helge and Mary Harvest, stating that they
do not object to his professional practice.
The following persons spoke in opposition to the Appeal and the
Variance:
Richard Longshore, 2314 North Park Boulevard
Herbert Hansen, 2315 Bonnie Brae
Mildred Spicer Collins, 2348 North Park Boulevard
George Hanna, 2221 Victoria Drive
Louis Pecora, 2438 North Park Boulevard
The opponents stated that if this building is allowed to be
used for commercial purposes that it will open the door to
many more such applications; that they take pride in this fine
residential neighborhood, and they do not wish infringement
upon it; and that they do not wish to have a parking lot in
their neighborhood.
In rebuttal, Dr. Wilson stated that he sees six patients a day
on the average; and that he is willing to stipulate for the
record to limited professional use of the property.
There being no further speakers, and no other written communica-
tions, the Mayor closed the Public Hearing.
On the motion of Councilman Evans, seconded by Councilman Ortiz,
and carried (6:1) with Councilman Yamamoto dissenting, the
