Dear Sir:
This is in the matter of the appeal of the Model Cleaners and Launderers for an
extension of commercial use to cover all of their property located on the south-
west corner of E. Seventh and Maple Streets. The property is described as all
of Lots 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, Auditors Sub, No, 72.
The E. Seventh Street frontage was zoned commercial in 1922 to a depth of 100,
feet from the street line. However, E. Seventh Street was widened'14 feet on
the south side in 1929, reducing the commercial classification to a depth of
86 feet. The zoning classification beyond this point is "B" residence. Over
a period of years, beginning in 1930, five requests for zoning extensions have
been made and granted. There has been a dry cleaning and laundry business on
this site since 1923. The applicant has recently purchased this property and
operation as they are being displaced from their present_location by the Sixth
Street freeway. They propose to enlarge the existing facilities by erecting a
connecting building between two of the existing buildings, thereby consolidating
this operation under one roof for a more efficient operation.
North across E. Seventh Street is Hamm Park, east and adjoining is a multi - family
residence fronting on Maple Street which is bounded on two sides by the existing
laundry buildings. Farther east across Maple Street is a vacant lot, also front-
ing on E. Seventh Street;'south and adjoining are the rear yards of residences
fronting on E. Sixth Street; west•and adjoining are the rear yards of residences
fronting on Bates•Avenue, and a three - family residence fronting on E. Seventh Street.
This is an irregularly shaped tract of land having a frontage of 280 feet along
E. Seventh Street and 116 feet along Maple Street, resulting in:an overall area
of approximately 56,500 square feet, or 1.3 acres.
Field investigation discloses no objections to this extension as the proposed
development will not be extended beyond its present limits, but will be an
addition connecting the existing buildings.
On April 26, 1960, the City Council granted an informal approval to this appeal
after being advised that the Board of Zoning had reviewed the matter and would
later submit a favorable recommendation.
In consideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the grant-
ing of the appeal to extend the commercial use to all of the above described
property.

RICE - PHILLIPS LAUNDRY COMPANY RECENTLY
PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY FROM MOTHERS FRIEND LAUNDRY AND TWO COMMERCIAL USERS
FRONTING ON LOTS 11 AND 12. THE PROPERTY FRONTS ON EAST SEVENTH STREET AND
IS ZONED COMMERCIAL FOR 86 FEET SOUTH OF THAT STREET. IT IS RICE— PHhLLIPS'
INTENTION TO ENLARGE AND MODERNIZE THE PRESENTLY EXISTING LAUNDRY FACILITIES
ON THE MOTHERS FRIEND PROPERTY. AT VARIOUS TIMES IN THE PAST, MOTHER'S
FRIEND HAD APPEALED FOR EXTENSION OF THE COMMERCIAL USE TO COVER ITS BUILDINGS.
IN APPLICATION FOR A BUILDING PERMIT, RICE— PHILLIPS LEARNED THAT AN AREA OF
THE PROPERTY BETWEEN THE PRESENTLY EXISTING MOTHERS FRIEND BUILDINGS WAS NOT
COVERED BY THESE EXTENSIONS, AND IS ZONED "B„ RESIDENTIAL. THIS IS THE AREA
IN WHICH RICE — PHILLIPS PROPOSES TO BUILD A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PRESENTLY
EXISTING BUILDINGS SO AS TO HOUSE ONE MODERN LAUNDRY FACILITY UNDER THE SAME
ROOF.
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS BUILDING WILL
ENHANCE THE APPEARANCE AND THE EFFICIENCY OF THE LAUNDRY FACILITIES. THIS
COMPANY WILL EMPLOY SOME 250 PERSONS AND WILL BE A DEFINITE ADDITION TO THE
CITY.
RICE — PHILLIPS HAS BEEN FORCED FROM ITS
PREVIOUS LOCATION BY CONDEMNATION OF ITS PROPERTY FOR THE BUILDING OF A FREE-
