Council considered a motion for I-P Industrial Zone proposed for 4 .85
acres of property within Annexation No. 51 which was defeated at the
Planning Commission meeting by a 3-2 vote. Said property is located
on the east side of Alabama Street approximately 301 feet south of

Two property owners addressed Council regarding this annexation and
proposed zoning. Mr . Schindler explained that if no Council action is t
taken, the property will be annexed as R--1 which is not compatible with,
the City ' s general. plan. He added that the I-P Zoning would allow the
use which is proposed for the property. }

I
apartments and an office building near this property and expressed
i
concern for some of the uses permitted by ordinance in the zone.

property were discussed at length. Councilman Miller stated the City
now has a great deal of property zoned for commercial use, then
seconded Mrs . Grace ' s motion. !'
