Realtor Calls  Plans  'Pathetic'
(Editor's Note: This ls the third
in a series of articles on tbe de¬
velopment and possiblefateof the
CoUege Community Plan, the
general guide for development of
tbe lands around Fresno State
CoUege.)
By STAN DRURY
The planning staff says lt ls
looking ahead 20 years, but lt
has not projected ahead five
yeara, charges  realtor C.  Cal
•We haven't begun to touch the
need for commercial areas yet,'
Evans, a former mayor of Frosno
added. "When they talk about
planning for 1985, It's pathetic*
In 1981, the CoUege Communi¬
ty Plan was adopted as a guide
for the development of the rapidly
growing coUege community area.
The coUege community la bound¬
ed by Blackstone, Hemdon,
WUlow,    Chestnut    and   Shields
The plan established commer¬
cial zoning based on the popula¬
tion lt would serve. Since that
time an additional 150 acres havo
been zoned for commercial iise.
In AprU tho CoUege Communi¬
ty Citizens Association sent a
petition to the City CouncU de¬
manding a moratorium on further
plete rostudy of the plan could
be made. Tbe moratorium was
rejected, but the restudy was or¬
dered.
Evans, who recently won ap¬
proval from the City CouncU to
rezone the northeast corner of
Cedar and Ashlan avenues to
commercial zoning, foresees
rapid changes ln the future.
•Who would have known 10
years ago, he asked, that Ashlan
would be a four-lane highway to¬
day? Ten years ago they (the plan¬
ning staff) said Blackstone wasn't
needed for commercial areas.
Then a survey was made, and the
whole avenue was zoned for corn-
Even the name of the CoUege
Community Plan ls misleading,
according to Spalding Waihem,
president of HeadUner Homes.
'It goes much further than the
coUege area,* he explained. "It
goes into areas that the coUege
doesn't affect.*
The principal bulldois Ln the
college area all have agreed the
CoUege Community Plan ls only
a general guide and not a definite
Subdlvldor-bulldor John Bona-
delle says, for example:
•The  plan was  formed  as a
general guideline because of the
lack of Ume for the study, the
lack of money and the large area
Involved. At that time tbe City
CouncU said all rezonlng applica¬
tions would be Judged on their
own merits, and they have been,
because we have kept remind¬
ing them.
•The plan can't be that good,'
he added. 'If so many people are
protesting something, there must
be something wrong with It, and
the plan has been under attack
from someone almost every day.*
BonadeUe says the present
commercial property hasn't been
fully developed because lt takes
about 15 years for commercial
property to be buUt up.
•The Investors are now five to
ten years ahead of the population
ln the coUege area, and this ls
healthy,* Bonadelle said.
«A buUder may withhold lots
ln a residential development that
are unsuitable for residential
sites,' Bonadelle explained,'and
hold them for future commercial

takes six months to a year, and
too much money ls Involved to
wait that long.
BuUder Oscar Spano said since
the CoUege Community Plan was
adopted, the conditions ln the
area have changed. Among the
changes- he sees are tbe buUdlng
of Hoover Ugh School and tbe
development of Fresno Stato Col¬
lege, which have attracted many
new residents to the area.
He believes some of the early
zoning was foolish and a waste
of land.
'Some of the owners nave been
holding the land for speculation,*
he noted. 'For this reason, zon¬
ing so far Ln advance was prema¬
ture.*
He feels, however, there ls get¬
ting to be too much commercial
land Ln the area now.
•There should be a 300-foot
commercial strip along tbe major
throughfares like Shaw, with a
buffer of apartments behind
them,* he said. There ls more
room ln the coUege area for more
professional buildings and of¬
fices. The time wUl come when a
trip downtown wiU be a special
occasion.*
C. Cal Evans predicts the day
will come when most of ShawwUl
be shopping centers and other
commercial buildings.
New Math
Untrained
The field ot mathematics has
undergone a revoluUonary change
during the last few years, which
has left many an educated adult
unable to help a seven-year-old
with his homework.
This "new math" ls an approach
Introduced by the School Mathe-
maUcs Study Group. Teachers
are quick to point out that the
math Itself hasn't changed, but
that they are now teaching lt ln
a different way.
Students of the 'old school*

•What the FSC professors want
is a beautiful drive to the cam¬
pus,* Evans commented. *I be¬
lieve ln esthetics, where lt be¬
longs.
•If you want to talk about es¬
thetics, look at those brick
dormitories on campus. The pro¬
fessors should tend to the molding
of their students' education and
leave the molding of Fresno to
those who know something about
•I'm ln favor of using back-
zoning to clarify some of our
zoning conditions," he said. If
the planning staff continues to use
the quota basis for aUotlng new
commercial zoning Ln the future,
I think the owners of presenUy-
zoned commercial property
should be given a two-year mora¬
torium to develop their property.
•If they fall to develop lt ln
that time, then backzonlng of the
land should be considered. But,
this Is very dangerous, and It
should be the last weapon used.*
When the restudy ofthe CoUege
Community Plan was presented
recenUy In a study session, lt was
recommended that 100 acrea of
commerclaUy zoned property be
back-zoned to moro restrictive
uses and that future develop¬
ments ln the college area along
Shaw Avenue be limited to apart¬
ments and office buUdlngs.

Plans Would Ease
College Cash Pains
*A plan designed to ease the
financial burden of parents of
college students and to create new
sources for the estabUshment of
scholarships has been proposed,*
said Dr. O.C. Carmlchael, Jr.,
President ofthe Citizens National
Committee for Higher Education.
Addressing the membership of
the Educational Writers Associ¬
ation during Its annual meeting,
Dr. Carmlchael said tbe Idea of
the tuition tax credit plan ls to re¬
lieve financial pressures on per¬
sons paying for coUege educa¬
tions and to 'reduce the threat of
students being priced off the cam-
The measure would permit a
credit against the federal Income
tax of persons paying for tuition,
fees and other essential expenses
of college students, be said.
Dr. Carmlchael said advocates
of the plan'emphasize the differ¬
ence between a tax credit and a
tax deduction.* This means that
each dollar of credit would reduce
a person's tax by one dollar. If a
taxpayer owned SI ,000 at the end
of the tax year and had qualified
for a |400 tax credit, he would
owe the Federal Government only
$600 In Income tax. 'A $400 tax
credit would save exactly $400 for
the Individual,' he said, 'whether
he earned $5,000 a year or
$20,000.*
*A deducUon,* Dr. Ca^micha«:',
ldaavea$20,000-
a $5,000-a-year man.*
The tax credit would come to
anyone—student, relative, friend
or benefactor—paying theeduca-
tlonal costs, tbe speaker said.
Opposition to this plan has
come from several quarters.
Much has been based on 'a lack
of understanding,* Dr. Car¬
mlchael noted, about differences
between a tax deduction—which
would tend to favor higher-in¬
come taxpayers — and a tax
credit — which would save the
lower and middle-income tax¬
payer a higher proportional share
of his Income.
■Similarly,* the speaker add¬
ed, 'some opposition has been
based on the fact the measure
would not help those with in¬
comes too low to necessitate pay¬
ment of federal Income taxes.*
In answering, Dr. Carmlchael
said advocates point out that Just
because a measure helps many
people does not Imply that U
hurts others, that other methods
exist to help low-Income people,
and that, ln fact, millions of dol¬
lars of scholarship money could
be both 'liberated and generated*
by the measure to help students
of limited means.
