66 City Manager Fales called attention to the letter of December 28 , 1973 received from Robert C . Bills , attorney for the property owner . Mr . Bills had requested that consideration of the proposed zoning map amendment be continued for 120 days , Robert C . Bills , advised that the present owner of the subject property is United Artists Theatre Circuit , Inc . , successor to United California Theatres , Inc . He requested that the Council delay zoning the property back to I -P ( Industrial Park ) from C -G ( General Commercial ) . He reminded the Council that the land was zoned C -G to accommodate a K-Mart development which did not materialize for financial reasons . Mr . Bills stated that K-Mart has expressed a renewed interest in the de - velopment , and several other proposals have been suggested to the owners . He stated further that any of these might be desirable development of the site from the City ' s point of view and asked for a 120-day continuation to investigate them . Mr . Bills advised that in exchange for the continuation , the property owners would agree not to proceed with any development and would report the nature and extent of -- any proposal deemed economically feasible which would produce an attractive , high- quality asset for the City . City Attorney Schricker advised that while the offer of the property owner may be made in good faith it is not binding in law and that , in any event , the Council has the authority it needs to review proposed development of the site according to the zoning established . Mr . Schricker suggested that a continuation of 120 days would be excessive . Discussion followed and Mr . Fales , Mr , Schricker and Planning Director Schroeter replied to questions of Council members concerning the kinds of development per- mitted under the present and proposed zoning landscaping standards , and a reason- able length of time for which continuation of consideration might be granted , MOTION : Councilman Weymouth moved , seconded by Councilman Williams , to continue the public hearing to the Regular City Council meeting of March 11 , 1974 with the understanding that the public hearing will remain open and that additional public testimony may be taken at that meeting . The motion carried unanimously by voice vote .
