2 '77 Mr . Ribera noted final drawing plans for the fencing would be commenced in preparation for getting plans ready for going out to bid after Council ' s final approval . PUBLIC HEARING , Application of HENRY ALBERS to amend the Zoning Map to rezone property located at 1122 Whipple Avenue , being Lots 20 , 22 , 24 and 26, Wellesley Park Subdivision No . 2 from "R-5 " ( Multi-Family High Density District ) to "R-5 ' T" ( Multi -Family High Density-Transient Residential Units Combing ) District , de - ' Glared open and affidavits of publication and mailing ordered filed . Planning Commission report read , in which it was noted their first action to deny this rezoning had failed to carry and action to grant the rezoning thereafter had carried by a six-to -one vote . There were no communications reported on file . Mr . Ralph Wood , of Wood and Associates , Oakland , representing Mr . Albers , the applicant , appeared and asked that he might describe from rendering the 164-bed convalescent hospital pro - posed for this site , if rezoning requested is approved , and Use Permit issued , In reply to Council question whether discussion of proposed use of the site in order when public hearing only involved rezoning at this point , City Attorney ad- vised discussion of proposed use was relevant to this public hearing . Mr . Wood advised their first application for this proposal had consisted of a request for a use permit but thereafter changed to the present rezoning request , inasmuch as the R-5 zoning would not permit such a proposal on this scale without the T-Combining District , and that such rezoning had been approved by the Planning Commission, and a Use Per- mit would still be required . He described from the rendering the three -story building proposed , no variances required , parking within the build- ing , etc . Council questioned definition of terms of this type of proposed facility , restric- tions of City ' s ordinance to 15-bed limitation relating to this type of proposal , and Staff report indicating their opposition to this particular site as not being appropriate for the proposed use for various specific reasons . Mr . Wood emphasized their supporting this location as a proper area because of its being on direct route to hospital area , close proximity to medical buildings in the area , and their proposed parking facilities of one space for every four beds exceeded requirements else - where in the Bay Area for this type of facility . City Attorney explained variation of the City ' s zoning ordinance in that the R-5 zoning provided for a nursing home of 15 -bed limitation as a conditional use only , whereas with T-Combining addition would permit as a conditional use the larger type of hospital home being proposed . In reply to questioning of Staff report indicating opposition to the proposal for this location, Planning Director advised Planning Commission recommendation of the rezoning now superseded Staff report although information contained therein not less valid . He also reviewed the research that had been made of the Bay Area for like developments as that proposed for specific standards as to parking, etc . In reply to questioning of control available as to lowering of intensity should this proposed development proceed to use permit consideration , Planning Director 119101:39
