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 Planning and Zoning Commission September 6, 1973 Page 2 general discussion about the industrial zoning of this area, and that possibly rezoning should be congid.ered; no action was taken. After consideration, Mr. Sloan made the motion to recommend to the City Commission the rezoning of Lots 88, 89, 90 and 91, Oak Hill Addition, from RI -1, Restricted Industrial District, to RC -1, Restricted Commercial District.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Franklin.
