. , � • 3. The narrow lot, with a narrow building with multiple garage doors opening onto a long asphalt driveway, facing the E1 Camino Real/Woodside Road interchange, and used as an auto repair garage, defeats the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance for "CP" Districts. 4. For a use such as this to be compatible with the purpose of the "CP" District, it vrould have to be redesigned to appear and function as a permitted use, e.g., a research facility, office, laboratory, or (indoor) distribution center, with more than the normal amount of landscaping to screen the "auto repair garage" nature of the use. 5. In contradiction to the above, a variance is also being sought by the same applicant to reduce the width of landscaping along Hazel Avenue to less than that which is required for permitted uses in the "CP" District. 6. There are no unusual circumstances pertaining to the property that would require a Variance for reasonable economic return. 7. The proposed use is unusual for such a location and such size of property, but that is not a valid basis for granting a Variance. 8. Such a Variance would be a grant of special privilege and contrary to the intent of the Zoning Ordinance. 9. This lot for the proposed "auto repair garage" is one of tvro adjoining properties that have very recently been cleared of dilapidated buildings and that are advantageously situated, in a commanding location, to take advantage of the kinds of development anticipated a�d planned for the "CP" (Comnercial Park) District; it would be premature to abandon the Zoning Ordinance objectives for this prime location at this time. The motion carried on the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmen Chandler, Claire, Nb sher, Stangel and Mayor Britschgi Noes: Councilmen Bury and Rhodes i JACQ� LINE C. HILDEBRAND City Elerk
