The meeting was called to order by Mr. Robert Karns, Acting
Chairman.
The first order of business was to hold a Public Hearing to
consider a request to rezone from RI -1, Restricted Industrial
District, to that of RC -1, Restricted Commercial District, for
Lots 88, 89, 90 and 91, Oak Hill Addition, at the location of
2520 Mellonville Avenue.
The Chairman announced that he would hear from anyone for, or
against, the request for rezoning.
Mrs. Mary Lee Hickson, the applicant, appeared in support of
her request for rezoning and explained that she planned to
operate a child care center with the capacity for twenty children
in the existing building at 2520 Mellonville Avenue.
No one appeared in opposition to the rezoning.
Mr. Clarence Henderson, 2524 Mellonville Avenue, owner of Lots
92 through 101 and 103, Oak Hill Addition, was present to
question the industrial zoning of this area, and to clarify how
rezoning would effect his property. The Chairman explained that
at the time of the preparation of the new zoning ordinance the
consensus was that ultimately this area, because of its close
proximity to the airport, would be industrial. There was a

No one appeared before the board to oppose the request for
rezoning.
After coxssi.deration, a motion was made by Mr. Sloan to recom-
mend to the City Commission the rezoning of the previously described
86 acres from SR -IAA, Single - Family Residential District, to MR -1L,
Multiple - Family Residential Limited Dwelling District. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Gischler and carried by a unanimous vote.
Consideration was next given to the request of Mr. Gordon Toll
for an interpretation of the zoning ordinance as it pertains to
the operation of mobile home sales in GC -2, General Commercial
District. Mr. Toll desires to operate a mobile home sales lot on
the west side of French Avenue, between Seventh and Eighth Streets.
After discussion, it was the consensus of the board that it had
been an oversight that mobile home sales had not been included in
the zoning ordinance as a conditional use in GC -2 District. A
motion was made by Mr. Davis to recommend to the City Commission
that mobile home sales be added to the zoning ordinance as a con-
ditional use in GC -2 Districts. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Franklin.
After discussion, Mr. Davis moved to amend his previous motion
to hold a public hearing to consider amending the zoning ordinance
by adding mobile home sales as a conditional use in GC -2 District.
The motion,was amended, was seconded by Mr. Franklin and carried
by a unanimous vote.
The date of September 20, 1973, was set to hold such public
hearing.
Mr. J. S. "Red" Cleveland, Airport Manager, next requested the
board to consider amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1097 by the adoption
of Airport Zoning, which would provide for height restrictions with-
in certain radii of the airport. After discussion, the City Planner
was asked to make a study of updating the previous airport zoning
for a review by the board at the next meeting and the date of
October 4, 1973, was set to hold a public hearing for considera-
tion of such request.
