FRO~1 ZONE R-l TO ZONE R-3 AFFECTING

WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission on January

WHEREAS, after notice required by Ordinance No. 760 of
said City, as amended, a public hearing was duly noticed on the mat-
ter by and before this Commission for the 25th day of March, 1958,
which said hearing, at the request of the applicant, was continued

.
SECTION 1. That in addition to many oral protests, pro-
tests to such rezoning were filed by the owners of more than one
hundred parcels in the general neighborhood, on the grounds that
the proposed use of apartment houses would create noise and park-
ing problems in a quiet single famdly residential neighborhood, and
would reduce property values.
.
SECTION 2. That although the applicant requested a con-
tinuation of the hearing set for March 25, 1958, for the purpose
of filing an amended application, no amendment was filed in time
for notices to be circulated for the hearing date of April 22, 1958.
That the petition filed requesting that a portion of the original
area be excluded from the application was not signed by the owners
of all the property for which exclusion was requested.
SECTION 3. That the petition, as originally filed, re-
quested rezoning on only one side of Woodruff Avenue and Workman
Avenue, leaving R-l zoning at the southwest corner of Woodruff Ave-
nue and Baldwin Avellue with the probability of further applications
for zoning relief; that even with the requested exclusion of some
areas, the petition still proposed R-3 zoning on the north side of
Las Tunas Drive across the street from ZonES C-l and R-l, resulting
in an island of R-3 zoning on Baldwin Avenue without regard to other
properties.
SECTION 4. That no exceptional or extraordinary circum-
stances were shown applicable to the property; that it does not
~ appear that public necessity, convenience, general welfare or good
zoning practice justify the requested zone change, but rather that
the request is premature and not in the interest of good planning
and would be detrimental to the residential property in the neigh-
borhood.
