Mr. Arlon Fuchs, a resident of Elk Hills, indicated that he was representing the residents of Elk Hills and submitted a petition in opposition of the zone change to the City Council. Mr. Fuchs indicated that the residents of the Elk Hills Addition wanted the property to remain residential for the following reasons: 1) The property serves as a buffer zone for the Elk Hills residents and therefore, it is required to maintain the present valuation of the homes in the Elk Hills area. 2) The traffic into and out of ELk RilLs Addition is controLled by Elk Hills Drive and the busine$ses along the service road are already creating a traffic problem in the area and should the parcel be rezoned commercial, it would create an even larger traffic problem. 3) The noise pollution with the elimination of the present buffer zone and the addition of a commercial business would be a detriment to the residents in Elk Hills.
