That subject property is in Zone C-2, That all property westerly thereof is in unincorporated territory, and for the most part is zoned and used for single family residential purposes. That all adjacent property in the City to the south, east and northeast is zoned R-3 except for the property abutting Sunset Boulevard between Balboa Drive and Michillinda Avenue which is zoned R-l, That the corner properties to the east in the City and to the west in unincorporated territory are developed and used commercially. That sixty percent (60%) of subject property has been developed and used for stores and shops, a bank, service station, nursery and other commercial uses, and the balance thereof is vacant. That the property owner has leased the major portion of subject property to the May Company which is in the process of developing the site under the existing zone with a department store and parking structure. That the subject application was filed by owners of neigh- boring property who neither own nor have a financial interest in any portion of the subject property; that the applicants' stated objective of maintaining a neighborhood shopping center would not necessarily be accomplished by granting the requested rezoning, as subject site is far in excess of the land areas generally considered to be adequate for neighborhood shopping centers. That the development of subject property now in progress will not materially add to any traffic problem of applicants because the site is located on the periphery of the residential areas and is bounded by arterial streets. That irrespective of the development of subject property now in process, Michillinda Avenue is destined to become more of a major traffic arterial in the near future than it is at present, when it is extended north of the planned Foothill Freeway to Foothill Boulevard. -2- 3821 That neither the public necessity, convenience, general welfare or good zoning practice justify the requested reclassification. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons the requested reclassification of the above-described property should be and the same is hereby denied. That the within denial shall be without prejudice to further consideration of and action concerning the portions of subject property that directly abut Huntington Drive, if studies hereafter undertaken by the Planning Department warrant any reclassification of said portions of subject property.
