Pebley's bid to rezone property in the area from RA to R-3. The tense, desperate, two-hour long battle followed defeat, by the City Council, of a motion by the area homeowners to gain a continance of the hearing. Challenging the use of R-3 multi unit as a buffer between commercial and residential zoning, Michael Zehra, Herb Litel, Jack Brown, Laurie Wendt, Norman Johnson, Bill Simpson and others carried on a well-timed and expertly staged, if sometimes theatrical, filibuster which brought them eventual victory in the battle with Pebley, a member of the city's Planning Commission, following a near-two-month fight. The decision of the Council, against the rezoning, was unanimous, but was in doubt up until the moment of the vote. Perhaps the most important results of the battle, though, was the promise of a stable policy on the use of multi-unit dwellings in residential areas and explosion of the supposed ironclad policy of buffering commercial from resi-dential with R-3. in the area. Laurie Wendt, a pretty housewife, was immediately buried under a barrage of the petitions. A total of 1,050 signatures was estimated. Homeowners were supported by a statement from A. L. Woolfert, owner of RA zoned property buffering on Pebley's, voicing disapparaly of the R-3 zoning. Norman Johnson asked the Council to whom they asked allegiance —the people or the individual property owners. Assistant city attorney Joe Geisler stated that the preferred policy is that commercial be buffered from residential by R-3, however refused to give an opinion. Planning Department director Dick Reese pointed out that the language of the General Plan is just that — general language — and that action of the Council or the city is not irrevocably bound by anything in the present proposed General Plan, or the General Plan when it is approved in its final form. When the Council ruled, 5-0, to disapprove Pebley's application, a collective sigh rose from those present. Zehra, acting as spokesman for the group, expressed his thanks and that of the homeowners.

ANAHEIM at a Glance The City Council has shown signs of coming up with a definite policy on R-3 multi-unit dwellings, councilman and Vice-mayor Chuck Chandler said recently. Three members of the City Council have condemned pressure tactics used by groups to gain their ends. Jack Dutton, Mayor Rex Coons and Vice-mayor Chuck Chandler said Tuesday that 'sometimes it is difficult to be objective when people attempt to influence the Council theatrically and emotionally — with shadowed threats of political blackmail'. The new fire station headquarters building, proposed for Broadway and Melrose, will cost the City $329,200. Kiely Corp. won the job on that low bid. A 24 unit, multi-family development on one and a half acres of land near Romneya Drive and State College Blvd. was the victim of the Council's tightening up on R-3 zoning. Tuesday.
