The ordinance would be effective for four months only and it would bar any use inconsistent with the proposed IR zoning designation. The ordinance introduced tonight adding Section 60.5.2 to Ordinance No. 1130, the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance would "permit temporary review of development on the Subject Property of changing conditions or development trends."

Gaggero, 3118 Rolison Road, read his hand delivered letter dated May 22, 1989 stating his clients did not receive adequate notice of the proposed action of Council and they are entitled to the benefits of the "doctrine of equitable estoppel" stating previous Planning Department actions "encouraged" Mr. Shehadeh to believe he would receive a permit to open his store and to sign a long -term lease. Mr. Schneider stated other businesses in the area, such as roofing, are far more detrimental to health than convenience store; Mr. Shehedah willing to erect fence to prevent problems in alley and to make other improvements to property; and Mr. Shehedah was told he needed a Use Permit when he actually only needed an architectural permit. In response to questions from Council Mr. Schneider showed the lease signed by Mr. Shehedah for 3118 Rolison and the receipt for the Use Permit application.
