created by the pig farm.
Mr. Richard Owens representing the builder of the Subdividion next to the pig

farm existed at the time they bought the property, and shortly after he
learned of the pig farm, he investigated the operation and found that there

40 pigs. He further referred to the section of the Zoning Ordinance which
indicated 'the non-conforming use cannot be expanded.
February 23, 1965

Mr. Dick Heitshusen, 10422 Doris Circle, addressed the Council, stating that
his lO-year old son heard pigs squeeling and climbed the fence to investigate

creates many flies during the ,,if, mar months.
Mr. George Roa addressed the Councils stating that he only has four sows and

The City Managersread in full a letter dated February 2, 1965, from Mr. Fred T.
King, Supervising Sanitarian of the Orange County Health Department, concerning
the fly and odor problem at the pig farms stating that it is the opinion of
the Health Department that the pig farm, as presently equipped, cannot be
,a/retained in a manner unoffensive to residents of the adjacent housing tract.
The City Attorney advised the Council concerning the legal aspects of the
matter before the Councils stating that Mr. Roa was operating the pig farm
before the land was zone to R-l, and because of this he is afforded certain
protections according to the law; however, this is not a vested right to the
use to which the property was put prior to the change of zone. The only ri8ht
it 8ires is the right to use the property for a given period ~0 amortize out
the investment.
The City Attorney further advised the Council that if a determination is made
that the pig farm is detremental to the health, safety, and welfare of the
community, the Council may choose either to terminate the pig farm operation as
set forth in Section 122.3 of the Zoning Ordinance or to abate the public
muisance by an action at law, which could be brought by either the City .or the
adJacent property owners. Mr. Erickson pointed out that if the matter did go
to a court action, the Judge ~ould probably grant a certain time period for
termination of the business.

Mayor declared the Public Hearing closed.

slaughter facilities are not legal in the City.
