PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
SPECIAL MEETING
CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
July 2, 1963
The special meeting, of the Plannin Commission of the City of Temple
City was opened at approximately 7 :32 p.m. by Chairman Beckley.
Chairman Beckley cave a brief introductory talk explaining to the
audience that our main objective was in planning for the future
expanded population in an orderly manner. In order to do this, the
Whitnall's, the firm hired to prepare the Comprehensive Plan, were
hired to determine current land use and application to current zon-
ing. Chairman Beckley presented a brief outline of the procedure
being followed by the Whitnall's and gave a resume of the work done
by the Commission in regard to time spent reviewing the proposed
comprehensive plan.
Chairman Beckley presented Gordon & 3rysis Whitnall, Consultants.
Mr, Whitnall briefly related the procedures that are yet to occur,
and explained that the total procram of planning that the City has
launched upon consists of two major parts: (1) Preparation of a
Comprehensive General Plan Report, which is not zoning; (2) Develop-
ment of the City's own zoning ordinance, The salient points of the
ordinance were covered by Mr. Whitnall, along with a breakdown of
the zoning categories.
Chairman Beckley read the official declaration of purpose of the
ordinance to the audience. The public hearing was opened and Chair-
man Beckley asked that those wishing to speak step forward to the
microphone and give name and address, and then present question.
Mr, Jay Kingry, Pacific Outdoor Advertising, appeared and discussed
the letter that had been presented to the Commission by his company.
He presented two questions to the Commission, as follows: (1)
Generally, would the zoning remain as the City now exists? (2) On
the non-conforming, is everything judged on its own merits, or is
there a non - conforming use time specified in the ordinance?
Mr. Kingry's questions were answered by the Commission and the Plan-
ning Advisor.
No other questions were directed to the Commission, therefore, a
five - minute recess was called at approximately 8 :20 p.m.
The remainder of the meeting was spent discussing the recom,nendations
of the Southern California Edison Company and the Pacific Telephone
Company in regard to requested changes in the ordinance.
