the time allotted, it would be well to review the entire com-
mercial zoning structure as presently used. They further felt
that in view of recent court decisions, they (the City) may be
arbitrary if they only studied the special use provisions in
the present zoning ordinance and that with review of the entire
listing, they could smooth out a few other problem areas, and
perhaps head off future problems.
It is felt that at this time the Commission has gone as far
as feasible with their recommendations, and request the Council
to consider them with an (Council) intent to put them in
ordinance form.
The Commission would meet with the Council at any time to dis-
cuss the proposal if the Council so desires.
Moved by Commissioner Roleff and seconded by Commissioner
McLaughlin to submit to the Council the Planning Commission's
recommendations for proposed zoning classification changes
in the zoning districts.
