Paul Williams, Associate Planner, gave the staff report on this request, with a recommendation for approval. Commissioner Littl questioned if the single-family residence on this property woulc be moved and it was noted that it would not be. Mr. Williams also advised that the approx. distance between the two homes on this lot is 120 feet. Pub1 ic Hearing was opened, and the applicant, Mr. Robert D. Stockton, 1759 Monte Vista Drive, Vista, spoke to the Commissior stating at the present time there was more than. 120 ft. between structures which is more than is needed for an RD-M lot. He sai he bas no plans for the property as he is not the developer. Hc stated that a Mr. Brehan is the buyer of the property, and the escrow has not closed yet. Mr. Lee Boyd of 391 Tamarack Avenue spoke in opposition to this zone change request. He stated his daughter (who is ill at the present time) is the owner of the front portion of this lot and they are opposing because they feel the 20 ft. easement woul create a bad dust and dirt problem with more traffic.

The public hearing was closed, and Commissioner Jose informed Mr. Boyd that the 20 ft. easement made reference to would not be utilized by RD-M development.

Flanagan stated this is actually an illegal lot split until a parcel map is processed. Commissioner Dominguez stated he was in favor of tableing this item until a split has been processed (lot) and have it brought back to complete the zoning hearing at the Commission level. A motion was made that Zone Change 123-A be TABLED at this time to allow time for a parcel map to be processed.
