Public Hearing - On a Request
for Zoning Change on 203A E.
Main from LR to GB (Cont.)
Chairman Pendleton opened the Public Hearing.
On one appeared to speak either for or against the
request.
Chairman Pendleton read two letters opposing the
request into the record. One letter being from Don
Brazeal Insurance and the other from Dick Senter, Pastor,
First Baptist Church (copies attached).
Chairman Pendleton closed the Public Hearing.
Some concerns discussed by the Commission included
why a glass company could not be located in a LR district;
what adjacent property owners thought of the rezoning;
what business could locate on the site if the zoning were
changed to GB and the glass company folded. There was
also some discussion on the zoning in the downtown area
as a whole.
The Commission also discussed the possibility of
alternate ways of allowing the glass company to locate in
the LR district.
Commissioner Wolfe read some Commission findings
into the record as follows:
1. There are seven other areas in the city zoned
General Business.
2. Such a change would result in spot zoning of
General Business in a Local Retail district.
3. Rezoning was requested due to the nature of the
structure, not in accordance with the zoning practice.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Wolfe and second
by Commissioner Glass, the Commission voted six
(6) for and none (0) opposed to deny the request
for zoning change as requested by this agenda
item due to the fact that such a change would
be inconsistent with the established criteria
for zoning change in the Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance. The motion carried.
General Discussion:
The Commission discussed the possibility of initiating
an amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to
include specific use permit in the Local Retail district
for auto glass business.

In re6enence to the property being cona.i.deA-ed ban rezoning at 203A
East Main, I woutd %c6pect6uUY-iequeAt that the zoning not be changed
6rom the eunnent Local Retail.
The 6oitow.ing ane my reasons bon not changing the zoning.
1. The property at 205 E. Main, adjacent to the requested change,
ha,s atways been used oe a residence.
2. The broad scope o6 the Genetat Bu,s.ine,ss zoning could open the door
bo,c some undeeinabCe bus.ineaaes boa that neighborhood.
3. In genenae, I do not believe ",spot" zoning .ie .in the best .inteAmt
06 au pwLties invotved in thin or any other zoning matter.
I am sonny I am unabte to attend the meeting .in pennon and I hope you
wiU eons.ides. thi6 CetteA a,s my position on this request.
I cvLta.in.Cy appreciate the .time each o6 you devote to the planning

within the City and I peuonatty appreciate each o6 you.
