Mr. Brown called the meeting to order.
Mr. McKibbin moved that the reading of the minutes for the previous
three meetings be waived, as he had read them for the Commission, and
that the minutes be approved as written. Seconded by Mr. Morgan and

The request for rezoning of Lot 13, Block 1, Fairview, from R -1
to R -3 of John T. Owens was discussed. Mr. McKibbin reported that
Mr. Karns had investigated the county records and determined that
Owens had purchased the property in 1953. Since the present law was
then in effect, the purchase was made with the assumed knowledge that
it could not be used as proposed. On this basis, Mr. McKibbin moved
that the request be denied. Seconded by Mr. Faville and passed.
The request of John Williams to rezone Lots 7 through 16, Pine
Heights and Lots 1 through 6, Teages Addition from R -1 to C -1 was
discussed. Mr. John Williams stated that the intended use of the
property was for a shopping center and that this area was necessary
to give the commercial area sufficient depth in order to get a
shopping center in the area. Mr. Williams also stated that a C -N
zone would be acceptable. Mr. Williams pointed out that the present
area is not sufficient due to the stores desiring off -- street parking
area in a ratio of 4 to 1 to the building area.
Mr. Morgan moved to recommend the rezoning of the area rea_uested,
but from R -1 to C -N. Seconded by Mr. Collins and passed.
Mr. Andy Carraway's request to rezone Lots 11 through 22 and Lots
28, 29, and 30 of Block M. First Street Extension from R -2 to C -1 was
next discussed. The proposed use is pharmacy and professional offices
with apartments above. Mr. McKibbin stated that a_C -N zone would be
acceptable to Mr. Carraway. Considerable discussion was held as to a
much larger area in that vicinity is already of a commercial type use.
Mr. Lee moved that they recommend rezoning from R -2 to C -N that area
between First Street and Second Street, bounded on the east by San
Carlos Avenue and on the west by Lakeview Avenue, less those lots on
First Street, already zoned C -1, between San Juan Avenue and Lakeview
Avenue. Seconded by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Morgan and passed.
