Attorney Walgren, appearing with Mr. Haselwood, spoke on his behalf. He stated their feeling that the application to the Planning Co,mission was a rea- sonable one and in accordar~ce with the plans adopted by the City. Also, they felt the Planning Commission did not carefully consider the evidence before it. Mr. Wlagren recommended a decision in favor of the Permit on the bases of the re- commendation of the City Planner and the evidence presented. Mr. T. A. Pullman, ~175 7th Street, read his comments in opposition to the Conditional Use Permit. He stated he spoke for most of the property own.ers in the vicinity of the property on 7th Street in that they object to the Conditional Use Permit for parking. Mr. F. W. Stokes, 2~30 7th Street, based his opposition upon the seemingly apparent disregard by the Conm~issioners of the present zoning laws. He felt his interpretations were comparable to what others, including the Commissioners, would be, and that there is no basis in the zoning laws for such a rezone or a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Soriano, Deputy City Attorney, explained that the City's legal Counsel has studied the laws and the interpretations and opinions are made known to the Contmissioners propm~l~.

City Clerk read the City Planner's recommendation for approval of the request of the Conditional Use Permit provided all requirements are met in accordance with Ordinance No. 1792 and Ordinance No. 2297. It was further pointed out that the permit is revocable if conditions are not met. However, Mr. Clark remarked the fact that Conditional Use Permits have been issued in the past and the requirements have not been met to the letter, but in this case, it seems that every precaution is being taken to see that the condi- tions are met. Mr. Schoneman cited a number of such per, nits that have been granted sinceL 1965 alone, and the fact that such a permit is not a new thing. Considerable discussion proceeded wherein "commercial" vehicles were dis- cussed and also what constitutes customer parking. Motion by Mr. Schoneman and Mr. Jarstad the permit be granted, carried unani- mously. Mr. Jarstad stated that such decisions by the Council are not popular ones, but the.Council makes them with proper study and reasons.- Mr. Clark stated he felt that the people in the area will actually be well 2atisfied with the improvements to the area and he hoped there would not be exces- sive "nit-picking" over what constitutes a co~nercial vehicle and what doesn't.
