sion and, Orange County's five members generally feel outvoted by the Los Angeles contingent. There is a further split between those who supported and i those who opposed the tiative. Rooney, although he opposed the initiative, was viewed as a compromise candidate since ha was from the university community. A former oil company economist, he was proposed for the commission by the city of Long Beach. Hayes supported Proposition 20 in his campaign for the post of supervisor last November.

He is a former vice mayor of Long Beach and represented that area in the Assembly before being named supervisor to replace Burton Chace. Long Beach Councilman Russ Rubley was elected vice chairman of the regional commission. The commission, which has no office space or staff, decided to use the Long Beach Harbor District offices as a mailing address. It will meet there again at 2:30 p.m. Friday.

The regional commission was told that procedures on how to process permits for construction in the coastal area and petitions for exemptions which already have been submitted by Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors will be out-, lined at the first meeting of the statewide commission at 10 a.m. today at the San Francisco Airport Commission Endorses South Laguna Plan neighbor or visit a neighborhood store. "I don't know how you can pay a person for that," he declared. Meyers said he would like to see a modified plan which would include single family cottages or bungalows of about 800 to 900 square feet for "elderly citizens." People living in the area should be given a "written guarantee," according to Meyers, that, they would be able to repurchase in the area at a cost no greater than that paid by the city for their property. And the same assurance should go to the business community, Meyers said.

Meyers noted that because of the dwindling tax yield in the project area, it is being "subsidized by every other taxpayer in the city. I don't think that the area is supportive. If it is upgraded it will carry its fair share." Bousman said he has "strong doubts" about the projected costs to the city. Minority Report "I think that they would be more in the neighborhood of $8 million," Bousman said. "I have strong reservations about using eminent domain I'm more in agreement with the minority report." A report submitted to councilmen Monday night by the Planning Department projected a sizeable Increase in property and sales taxes from a fully redeveloped area.

The report contended that the assessed valuation would climb from $773,100 in 1972 to $5.4 million and the tax yield to the city would increase from $8,117 to $49,012 a year. Sales tax revenues would range from $52,000 to $61,000 a year. The bed tax would be $11,000 to $13,000. Added revenue from those two sources then -would be $63,000 to in the project area, the report said, adding that these figures do not take into account increased volume, price increases or inflationary factors. Ah associate professor of economics at Cal State Long Beach was elected chairman of the South Coast Regional Coastline Commission at its first meeting.

Robert P. Rooney, who also heads the university's center for environmental studies, was elected by an 8-4 vote. It took four ballots, before Los Angeles Supervisor James A. Hayes was elected to the statewide coastline commission by a 7-5 vote. The three previous ballots were ties between Hayes and Donald B.

Bright, chairman of the biology department at Cal State Fullerton. The regional commission, one of six, was created by the Nov. 7 coastline initiative to control development along a strip of coastline while a plan is being drawn up for Los Angeles and Orange counties. The regional plan will be forwarded to the state commission for inclusion in a statewide plan for the best use of the coastline. All of the five other regional commissions had carried out their organizational elections by open vote but the South Coast commission used a secret ballot.

There was obvious tension at the overflow meeting Monday night attended by 325 persons in the Long Beach Harbor Commission meeting room. The 12 members spent 35 minutes deciding' how to conduct the nominating and voting.

Hines and Coun-cilmen Anthony N. Fonte and Stanley F. Meyers. Opposed were Councilmen Jesse M. Davis, owner of an 8-unit apartment complex in the proposed renewal area, and Councilman Harold Bousman.

Residents and businessmen in the project area were told they are under no immediate removal threat. Planning Director Taras Kozbur, architect of the "Village Plan" said it would take 18 months to two years to prepare a final plan. Then the council and agency would be required under state law to hold public hearings before final plans could be adopted. Boundaries of the project area are Western Santa Ana Freeway, Beach Blvd. and the extension of 4th St.

Included are 53 business houses, 72 dwelling units 24 single family and 48 apartments three churches and one motel. The entire 33 acres would be cleared to transform the area into a blend of businesses, apartments, offices, spiritual and cultural facilities in a parklike atmosphere. $5.6 Million Tab The estimated cost to the city of acquiring the property, clearing it and: installing public facilities is $5.6 million. The sites would be sold to private enterprise and the estimated cost of buildings would be more than $18 million. Although federal funds for such a project are not now available, councilmen voted to apply for them and any other appropriate funds.

Councilmen also took two other steps. They approved an environmental impact report, the wording of which was strongly opposed by Davis, and or-dered the preliminary "Village Plan" forwarded to the county auditor and assessor. Coucilmen Fonte and Meyers and Mayor Hines agreed with the plan as a guideline but said it needs overhauling. Davis and Bousman questioned the financing and density and opposed use of force to oust long time residents and businesses from the project area. All of the councilmen agreed that no one should be hurt by any adopted face-lifting program.

But that would be impossible, Davis contends. He said he "resents" the environmental report say-; ing that the area is blighted and overgrown with weeds and is without "pleasing features." Davis 6aid that "unless I'm totally blind," the area does have pleasing attributes.

Anaheim Will Buy Buildings From Church ANAHEIM The City Council voted Tuesday to purchase the three-building Zion Lutheran Church complex on Chartres St.

between Emily and Philadelphia Sts. for $185,000. Church trustees had agreed to the sale. The buildings will be used chiefly as a headquarters for senior citizen activities but will be open for other community functions. The vacated Senior Citizens building will be utilized by the Parks and creation Department.

Federal revenue sharing funds will be used to buy the church complex. "gives a good general direction to the community, but there are a lot of things left to do." The commission, acting unanimously, recommended that if a proposed "transportation corridor" inland of South Laguna proves infeasible, the proposed general plan should be reconsidered for possible reduction in the proposed number of dwelling units. The plan calls for an ultimate of 4,396 single and multi-family units, compared with the 2,243 living units existing in South Laguna in 1971. The transportation corridor designates a major highway being considered by the County Road Department along what was the proposed route of the Pacific Coast Freeway. The state deleted the freeway route last year.

Corridor Held Essential But Robert Voien, county traffic engineer, told commissioners a transportation corridor is essential if auto congestion on the Pacific Coast Highway is to be relieved. The commission also directed the county counsel's office to study cost-benefit alternatives for hillside property owners as an incentive for them to put their land in the open space. The commission recommended the 97-acre open space zone be created. County planners are already studying ways in which South Laguna residents could preserve the open space, possibly by forming a special district to purchase the land. The commission recommended to the Board of Supervisors that the South Laguna Civic with county planning assistance, prepare studies on design standards for future residential development and for landscape programs in commercial areas and along Pacific Coast Highway.

i The civic association would also study whether South Coast Community Hospital's master plan of expansion would be compatible with, surrounding residential neighborhoods. The commission also suggested underground utility districts be created in South Laguna. Continued from First Page permitted 320 of the 650 acres to be turned into residential 1 pment containing an estimated population of 6,475. Commission Chairman Roger Slates, who favored the hillside landowners' concept, said he felt the counterplan "is about the only way to obtain open space and not at the expense of homeowners." Commission approval of the South Laguna Civic Assn. plan, which goes to the Board of Supervisors for final action, culminates 20 months of county-assisted citizen planning to establish the land use, open space and transportation elements to preserve the community character of South Laguna without eliminating growth.

More than 100 persons crowded the commission's small hearing room to offer four hours of testimony for and against the civic association and landowners' plans. The Planning Commission directed that a planning staff member work with the civic association and other South Laguna groups in drafting other required elements of the general plan including housing, scenic highways and seismic and fire safety. Commissioner Ron Yeo, a major advocate of the civic association said the planning effort to date Church. Burial will be in Ivy Lawn Memorial Park. Ted Mayr Mortuary is in charge of arrangements.
