Mr. MoKibbin then reported to the board as to the happenings before the City Commission in regards to their rezoning requests. Also, Mr. McKibbin gave a verbal report on information received from other cities In regards to square foot area used for family unit dwelling area for apartments (efficiency). From the report given, it appeared that most of the cities were basing their requirement on lot area per family dwelling unit. After a lengthy discussion, it was suggested that the minimum area for each dwelling unit would be 350 square feet, exclusive of porches, ports- cocheres, garages, or carportes. This would not pertain to motels, hotels, or lodging homes. No action was taken. A discussion was then held on sub- paragraph B of NUses Permitted under Section 12, 0--1 district. It was felt that it might be best to delete "mechanical garages" from this section. Also, under paragraph 5 of this same section, it was felt that the word "trees" should be deleted. Further, Paragraph F, under this same section should be reconsidered due to the paragraph making all existing commercial buildings non - conforming. No action was taken. A short discussion was also held on the possibility of requiring used car lots to have a hard pavement. No action was taken. There being no further business, meeting adjourne .
