industrial park be located in thp 50 acres bounaea ~y
Stevens Creek Hoad, south High"ay 9, eastward projec.Liorl'
of Rodrigues Avenue and South Blaney, Namely, that it
is near what is now the center of town; there are few
buildings there at present; it is close to an existinb
st.orm sewer; into Calabassas Creek for c~rainage; we neE:,
to maKe known the fect that we welcome inJ.ustry in this
area. Chairman Leonard said that existing storm drains
can cover the area in question. In answer to a questi~:
from the floor, Chairman Leonerd S!ÜU tint an ~I-l-H are'
will eventually be necessary and that the evidence now
at hand indicated thst this was the best location,

quccstion, 1. e., "WhB.t els~ should we put there?".

which couldn't go into M-l-H zoning. Commissioner Cali
added that locations away from the railroad were re-
stricted to cert8 in industries, Chair",:'\1 LeonaY'd [è.:Üd
that th~ croblem of traffic indicated use of Stevens
CreeK Road as the artery for new traffic. Mr. Shue
Obj0cteC to the ~roposed zoning of this 50 acres. He
claimed the City needed a master nlan. Chairman Leonard
said th~t we do not have sufficient area zonEd for
industry, IiI', Leeman objected to the Droposed industrial
zoning as detrimental to his home.
