as a tire installation facility; that the request was scheduled for public hearing by
the City Council as a companion case to this request on May 12, 1992; that the Plan
Development district (Section 2-H) of the City Zoning Ordinance requires that a site
plan be submitted for review and recommendation by the City Zoning Commission prior to
being presented to the City Council in public hearing for final action; that the
subject site plan was recommended for approval by the Zoning Commission on April 15,

advertising, Zoning Docket No. Z-92-028, which application was recommended for denial
by the City Zoning Commission, appeared before the City Council and advised Council
that a Joint Venture was entered into by Texaco and Star Enterprise and that they were
told that there would not be any problem in moving a billboard sign structure 30 feet
west; advised Council that the billboard was presently located on an easement owned by
an individual who leased the billboard to May Advertising Company and that he had
discussed the proposal of moving the billboard structure 30 feet away with the owner of
the easement and May Advertising Company and both parties were in agreement with moving
the billboard so as not to interfere with the gasoline pump, however, removal of the
billboard sign to the new location, which was only a distance of 30 feet would
constitute a loss of the present legal non -conforming status; and advised Council that
this is why a zoning change is requested.

Z-92-028 City Council and advised Council of the Zoning Commission's

members believed that Star Enterprise should deal with the other sign owner and then
present the case for a change in zoning rather than grant the change in zoning and then
discuss it with the other property owner.
Council Member Silcox made a motion, seconded by Council Member Puente, that the
City Council uphold the recommendation of the City Zoning Commission for denial of the
application of Star Enterprise for a change in zoning of property located at 3625 West
