At the request of Mayor Hill, Acting City Attorney John Penney
explained to the audience the nature of public hearings held by the
Council in connection with appeals from the decisions of the Planning
Commission.
Mayor Hill opened the meeting for public hearing in connection
with the appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission, whereby
the Application of Douglas H. Buell for Use Permit No. 269 was granted,
permitting the sale of alcoholic beverages at 3436 East Coast highway,
Corona del Mar, Lot 4, Block 1, Tract Corona del Mar, Zone 0-1. The
Clerk read the report from Walter M. Longmoor, Chairman of the Planning
Commission, substantiating the reasons for the granting of said Use
Permit on December 20, 1956. The report sets forth that a majority of
the Commissioners, after a full and complete discussion among themselves
and with the public which attended the hearing, decided that the sale
of alcoholic beverages at 3436 East Coast Highway, did not create a
serious adverse effect upon the immediate residential neighborhood.
Mr. A. K. Phelps, Attorney representing the applicant, Douglas
' H. Buell, spoke from the audience. He stated that the Council
sitting as a legislative body should be influenced by the opinion
of the people, but the Council sitting as a judicial body, as in this
instance, should render a decision based solely upon fact submitted
and the laws governing. Mr. Phelps stated that the applicant proposed
to sell beer in an area in which other licenses for the sale of
alcoholic beverages have been granted, in an area where traffic is
extremely heavy, and in an area where owners of adjoining business
do not object to the proposed sale of beer. He introduced into the
record the following:

The Clerk read a letter from Robert J. Ball commending the

the City than any.possible oil revenue. On motion of Councilman
Wilder, seconded by Councilman Stoddard and carried, said letter
was ordered filed.
' Councilman Stoddard stated that he had previously submitted
to each Council member a memorandum, attached to which was a
proposed statement of policy on oil development which the Council
might wish to adopt. Councilman Stoddard read his memorandum
which set forth the need of the Council for a policy on a matter
of such general concern as oil development. The Clerk read the
proposed statement of policy, and a discussion was held. Council-
man Wilder was of the opinion that the matter should be given
further study. However, after further consideration, on motion
of Councilman Stoddard, seconded by Councilman,Hart and carried,
the following policy on oil exploration and development was
adopted:
1 °The City Council has recently received requests
from,the Monterey Oil Company relative to exploring
for and development of oil in the City of Newport
Beach. The Council has acted to deny these requests,
"In order to define the Council's position and to make
that position known to the public, the following
statement of policy on oil exploration and development
is issued:
"The City Council is cognizant of repeated expressions
of intent by the voters and citizens of Newport Beach
that oil development within the City be limited strictly
and specifically to development sanctioned in the
Elliott contract. These expressions are generally
construed to apply to oil exploration and development
in the broadest sense,
"The specific area from which drilling operations shall
be conducted under the Elliott contract is well defined
therein. It is the Council's opinion that no other
sites . for either exploration or drilling operations
should be authorized without approval of the voters.
11The Council further believes that suggestions to
expand operations in this or any other area of the
City must necessarily be accompanied by proposals
which will provide just and sufficient compensation
to the community for the possible risks involved.
11It is the Council's position that the public interest
would be best served if any such proposals for expansion
of oil development were offered on a competitive bid
basis subject to terms and conditions having the prior
approval of the electorate.11
Said policy was adopted by the following roll call vote, to wit:
