Planning Director Dragicevich stated that the Planning Commission at
their regular meeting of February 27, 1979, approved this Tentative
Parcel Map by adopting Resolution No. 79 -835 P.C. The applicant
subsequently requested a slight modification of boundaries to allow

garage. The result of the requested modification would increase the
size of one lot and decrease the size of the second lot (8,128 sq. ft,

7. MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICIALS
•
(a) Zone Classification re: Heating /Air Conditioning Sales & Service
Planning Director Dragicevich advised the Planning Department had
received a proposal for a heating and air conditioning sales and
service business to be located on the west side of Rosemead Boulevard,
north of Emperor Avenue, a C -2 Zone, General Commercial. Presently,
the Temple City Zoning Code does not contain a category for this pro-
posed use in a C -2 Zone. Several cities had been contacted by the
staff to determine the categories under which heating and air condition-
ing sales and service was permitted and this information was reviewed
for the Commission's perusal.
The Commission was advised the applicant had several such business
locations throughout the valley and was present in the audience to
answer any questions which the Commission may have. Continuing, Mr.
Dragicevich noted the operation in Temple City will be primarily

of operation and pictures of the applicant's other valley locations
were made available to the Commission.

Commissioner Breazeal said it was the only reasonable zone for this
type of business and the Zoning Code does not provide for the category
at the present time. Commissioner Stacy concurred with Commissioner
Breazeal's observations. City Manager Koski stated it was a reasonable
use for a C -2 Zone, and explained to the applicant, Mr. Peterson,
the procedure involved insofar as the City was concerned to include
heating and air conditioning sales and service in permitted C -2 uses.
Commissioner Breazeal moved to recommend to the City Council that, .
pursuant to Paragraph 51, Section 9280 (A), Heating and Air Condition-
ing Sales & Service be included in permitted C -2 uses. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Stacy and carried unanimously.
