Mr. Taylor pointed out that multi - family use of the land has been projected for many years and that the City's Master Land Use Plan, amended in 1963, , actually calls for multi - family residential and commercial use. Mr. Watt introduced Mr. Eugene Sage of Sasaki - Walker Associates, Landscape Architects, who dis- played renderings and made a slide presentation.

Herring Selim Franklin who stated that while it is true that they requested additional time to make a traffic study, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Balboa Island Improvement Association it was decided not to spend additional money as they had had traffi .a study prepared by the firm of Williamson & Schmid in 1964, which made projections to 1980, and traffic conditions have increased since that time: The following persons spoke in opposition, express- ing concern regarding traffic, the density of the project, parking ratios, necessity for a view park an accessible beach, polution and ecology: Mr. Kiel Burwell, 226 Onyx, Balboa Island, Mr. Alan Beek of Beacon Bay, Mr. Jeff Miller who is not a property owner; Dr. S.

The Commission discussed the application at great . length and after considering all the testimony heard and the ramifications of the proposal, Mr. Taylor was asked if he would like to have the:. matter continued or if he would prefer to have a "yes" or "no" vote that evening. Mr. Taylor replied that he would like to request a five minute recess so he could discuss this with Me. Watt; the request was granted. The Commission reconvened at 12:15 A.M. with all members present and Mr. Taylor requested that this item be continued for 30 days which will afford them an opportunity to meet with the City Council • and perhaps resolve the park issue, and also take into consideration the considerable amount of in- formation that was expressed, not only by the Commission, but by the general public. Upon being questioned regarding Item 3 - Amendment No. 271 (the Balboa Wharf project) Mr. Taylor re- plied that they would prefer to have this item considered as soon as possible. Planning Director Wilson advised against placing it on the December 17th agenda as that agenda already is quite large and the other items not being'discussed this evening will also be placed on that agenda. A discussion ensued as to when these two items should be heard and it was felt that a special mee - ing to consider only these two items was desirable and, if possible, a larger place should be secured for the meeting. After further discussion, it. Motion x was moved that Item 2, Use Permit Application No. Second x 1494 (Promontory Point) and Item 3, Amendment No. All Ayes 271 (Balboa Wharf) be continued until January 5, 1971 at 7:00 P.M. at a more suitable location,` which will be duly published in the newspaper and the property posted.
