parcel sizes. Public Hearings and notification are required lot by lot. The

adequate open space. Ms. Harris concluded by stating the Planning formission
adopted Resolution No. 2199 approving the proper code amendments and

Mayor Jacobson annxan:ed that this was the time and place heretofore fixed
for a Public Hearing on the City of E1 Segundo initiated zone change on a
split zoned 6,701 square foot lot located at 951 Main Street. The 501 x 134'
lot is currently zoned General co mmercial (C-2) on the north 83% (5,578
square foot) of the lot area, with the remaining 17% (1,123 square foot) on
the south side zoned Residential-3 (R -3). The Planning Cormd scion
reccnmmerds the R -3 zoned area be changed to C -2, establishing General
Counercial zoning for the entire lot. A Negative Declaration of
Ernvirammental Impact has been prepared. (Errvu=nental Assessment FA -157,

Director of Planning, Lynn Harris stated the Planning Commission initiated
this zone change at their meeting of February 11, 1988 in response to a
request for interpretation frotm the property owner regarding which zoning
standards apply to this split -zoned property. The application, which is
supported by the property owner, involves a zone change only; no development
of the site is proposed at this time. Ms. Harris stated the proposal
involves the rezoning of a portion of a 6701.5 sq. ft lot located at 951
Main Street from a Residential -3 (R -3) zone to a General Commercial (C -2)
zone. The southerly 8.38 feet of the subject property, ccuprising 16.75% of
the total area of the lot, is zoned R -3 while the remaining area is zoned C-
2. The E1 Segundo Municipal Code (section 20.16.020) required that when
there are two conflicting zoning regulations on a single property, the more
restrictive code requirements prevail. This section also establishes the
regulations and uses of the R-3 zone as more restrictive than those of the
C -2 zone. The proposed rezoning will allow future development to the uses
and standards of the C -2 zone. Ms. Harris concluded by stating it was
staff's reccnuendation to uphold the Planning Commission recmumendation to
approve, certify Negative Declaration of E7rviro muental Impact and introducie
the Ordinance.
