At this time the City has no information that the Girl Scout property on Longden Avenue will be sold to the Temple City Unified School District. The City's Zoning Ordinance at present does not have any regulations with re- spect to requirements for this type of use in residential zones. Letter of response should reflect these facts. 5. PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: DISPLAY OF MERCHANDISE ON PUBLIC SIDEWALKS IN FRONT OF ANY BUILDING IN ALL COMMERCIAL ZONES The Commissioners discussed the proposed draft of an ordinance pertaining to display of merchandise in the open or in front of any building in the commercial zones.

They requested staff to have the City Attorney prepare additional guidelines and criteria with respect to the proposed ordinance. The present draft, as written, was not acceptable to the Commission to allow them to proceed with a public hearing and recommendations to the City Council. 1 MINUTES OF ADJOURNED MEETING PLANNING COMMISSION - November 26, 1974 PAGE TWO.
