65 the upper peninsula area, and approximately half of this area contains a PG&E easement for major power facilities. A fire station is proposed to be located in this zone. Controlled waterways, levee parks and recreational reserve areas are proposed to remain in the existing "TP" District. In discussion, it was determined that the PG&E easement in the "CN" District would not preclude Neighborhood Commercial use, such as parking, or a small commercial shopping center. Also, Council noted that owners of the greenhouses had indicated interest in moving their operations, and using the easements for the purpose and questioned present status. City Manager noted meetings with owners and PG&E and indicated there had been interest expressed also in using the land under the towers. He advised he would obtain answers and report back. (Memo 1/5/70) Councilman Rosselli moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Arnett and carried. Councilman Arnett moved to introduce Ordinance adding Section 60.20.2 to Ordinance No. 1130, rezoning property in the vicinity of Redwood Peninsula, seconded by Councilman Rosselli, Councilman Henderson expressed appreciation for the extensive information provided in connection with this requested rezoning, but indicated reluctance to approve because of the status of Redwood Shores and the questions of certain govern- mental agencies being still unresolved. Councilman Keckley felt postponing rezoning would not expedite decisions by the Federal government and that the extensive planning necessary should not be held up pending those decisions; that rezoning at this time does not necessarily imply opinion that further studies are unnecessary.

City Manager responded that, from an administrative point of view, he saw no reason why these should not be available to Council, but indicated belief this would not provide information of any particular value.

San Mateo County were not being served by the City and County of San Francisco; and (3) Considerable potential for water within the County was determined through extensive studies by the Corps of Engineers, and the City and County of San Francisco has undertaken studies relating to future water supply in the County. Approximately a year ago, a sub -committee was formed, repre- senting several cities in the County and the various water districts. Effort was made to determine the kind of agency that would suit the needs of the County, and it was felt the most appropriate would be an agency that could meet and discuss plans on a one-to-one basis, similar to Regional Planning Committee. It was believed also that the agency
