a total of 3; namely, Mr. Dietrichs and Mr. Stemper, both
local realtors and one resident from the Pinecrest Sub-
division.
The Chairman gave a brief resume regarding the new
proposed Zoning Ordinance; stating briefly the main points
of:
1. Cutting down on the number of zones.
2 . Attempting to fit the present zones to this
particular ordinance.
3 . Eliminating the majority of the various building
problems that must be submitted to Variance Boards

Whereby most of these can now be handled directly
through the Building Official through the provisions
set up in the new ordinance.

and land uses.

The Building Official then read aloud the General
Users of each zone as set up under the new proposed ordinance.
Article xZ on Home.Occupations was read in full and also the
rules and regulations pertaining to Fences and Walls.
A period was then open for questions, answers, and
discussion pertaining to the new proposed Zoning Ordinance
and Zoning Map.
The two realtors entered into some controversy with
the Boar. regarding "home occupations" and the fact that
real estate offices were not one.of thos permitted. Also,
they questioned the Board's reasons as to the proposed zoning
of residential.on the west side of French Avenue from 22nd
.Street south, which is now commercial under the existing
ordinance. The realtors felt that there was no possibility
of residences ever being constructed to face on French Avenue.
After lengthy discussion, it was moved by Mr. Bush,
seconded by Mr. Harris and carried that a meeting be held on
January , 1962, regarding this area and that, in the meantime,
the members ride the area and review the .existing situation
as to feasibility for a change in the propogfj4 zoning to that
of commercial. Also, it was recommended that "loose ends"
be brought to attention for final decisions.
It was brought to the Board's attention by a Memo from
the .City Manager's Office that the Bellemead Development Corp.
of Daytona Beach, Florida,were interested regarding the SE
corner of 27th Street & Orlando Drive for a proposed shopping
center. 'The largest portion of the property would be occupied
by an A & P Grocery. The present site is outside the city
limits, but due to the concern wishing city utilities and
thereby the possibility of annexation, the Board was requested
to render their opinion as to possible zoning. The main key
being possible zoning that would or would not allow off - street
parking within the 200 -foot strip off of French Avenue.
It was pointed out that the area to the south, So. Pine -
crest Addition, had a row of 10 homes on the west side .of
French Avenue and were.inside the city limits. Also, the
area outside the city limits was residential in nature, plus

the Comprehensive City Plan calling for retail - commercial
along 17 -92. However, it does not show the exact depth
this zoning was proposed.
The closest property owner 'in the row of 10 homes
to be m6st affected by this commercial use of off- street
parkinglwas present to voice her objection and hear the
discussion.
i
Due to Board Member Joe Davis being the legal counsel
for the Bel.lemead Corporation, he. excused himself from the
discussion.
After lengbhy discussion, it was recommended that
this area be visited by the members and the matter be taken
up at the meeting of January 4th.
It was moved by Mr. Harris, seconded by Mr. Karns and
carried that, as previously discussed, consideration be given
at the next meeting for the drafting of a "conditional use"
for off street parking. Suggestion being that off- street
parking be allowed in a residential area providing it is
for an .butting commercial use with adequate safety guards
provided.
The amended plat of GOLDEN GATES was presented to the
Board for approval. Original plat corrected with regard to
a 4 -fooit error. Moved by Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Lee
and carried to accept the amended plat.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
