The Mayor stated at this time that it was his belief the Council, as a

the Mayor.
Yx. 0. K. Gibbons addressed the Council relative to his obtaining a
permit to construct and operate a trailer court adjacent to the intersection
of Holly Avenue and Indiana Street, within the City of El Segundo, stating
that he had made formal application to the Building Inspector and deposited
the fees required to be deposited in such cases and that thereafter the
Building Inspector had refused to issue the permit and recommended he discuss
the -- matter -with- the'City Council.-... ,
Mayor Selby informed Mr. Gibbons that, as stated a few moments
before and while Mr. Gibbons was in the Council Chamber, this Council is -not
favorably disposed to the granting of permits foT, the- constrU-Ction and--`
maintenance of trailer courts within the City of El Segundo, and prefers
to defer action upon applications of this nature until such time as the zoning
ordinance of the City of El Segundo is adopted and effective and the Zoning
Commission, which shall be appointed at such time, has an opportunity to
pass upon such applications.
Nor. Gibbons then stated that in anticipation of obtaining the permit
applied for he has undertaken certain obligations, and that he will suffer
inconvenience and expense if he is delayed in his operations until such time
as the Zoning Commission is qualified to pass upon his request for a permit.
It again was brought to Mr. Gibbon's attention that the Council's
attitude with respect to trailer courts has been known for some time; that the --
local newspaper has carried items with reference thereto; that former
applications for similar permits have been denied and that in the instant
case the Council would prefer to take the matter under advisement.
..Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Peterson, seconded by
Councilman Skelle; *, that the application of 0, K. Gibbons for a permit to
construct a trailer court adjacent to the intersection of Holly Avenue and
Indiana Street, be taken under advisement for a period of one week to enable
the Council to investigate the matter; that if possible Mr. gibbons will be
advised of the Council's decision sooner; and that this Council go on record
as looking with disfavor on applications for auto trailer.courts within the
City of E1 Segundo until such time as the Zoning Commission of said City
can function and pass thereon. Carried.
Mr. Carl Dalton then inquired what action he might expect the Council
to take upon his application for an establishment of similar nature, and
the T'ayor informed him that he felt the Council's attitude with respect
thereto was clearly set forth in the resolution heretofore at this meeting
adopted. Mr. Dalton thereupon thanked the Council and left the Council
