Avenue, Elwood Street and Brewster Avenue Ron Woodall, Assistant Superintendent of Sequoia • High School District, 76 Duane Street, opposed the proposed zoning and suggested it is capri- cious, arbitrary and discriminatory in that the Council evidently seeks to prevent the Board of Trustees of the District from closing the school at some future date and selling the property. Mr. Woodhall suggested City Council motives are suspect, since he believes Public Facility • zoning of the school property would impair its market value to the extent of making it unsale- able. He asked that the record show that the rezoning is proposed only to conform to the General Plan. • Lengthy discussion followed and 'Mr. Woodall, City Manager Fales and City Attorney Schricker commented, questioned and replied to questions concerning the fact that the Council is on record having adopted a "P-F". (Public Facility) District and instructed the Planning Commission to rezone sites used for that purpose to that designation; that the P-F District does not pre- • vent sale of the property since any prospective buyers can request prezoning; that Council has not and does not intend to use its zoning powers to block any school plans for property; that it Omml is the responsibility of Council to consider the impact of development of property in the City as a whole with regard to traffic, environment, etc.; that the act of zoning, property used as a public facility to a public facility zone is uncontestable; and whether or not the District has any relatively immediate plans for sale of the property. • . Councilman Rhodes requested that the record show the statement of the City Attorney that the Sequoia property, if zoned P-F, could be sold contingent on the zoning which could be made one of the conditions of sale. • Chuck Olson, 3087 Tapir, Santa Clara, owner of property at 344 and 342 Elwood, suggested zoning of property is related to its value and inquired about any proposed zoning change for his property.
