Ruby Page, representing Page Family Properties, requested a rezoning from R-2 residential to M-1 manufacturing on the company’s land at 1500 E. 51st Street to park the company’s heavy vehicles.

But her request was deferred on Monday by a zoning panel.

“We want to use it for storage and for parking,” Ms. Page said.

However, Councilman Manny Rico and nearby resident Virginia Goss alleged that the company’s operations are disruptive and should not be permitted near a neighborhood.

“The people that live in that area, they’re very upset,” Mr. Rico said.
