G. 5tarr and E. Cox Surveys, from "�-1" to "PD" Planned �' � Development District on an emergency basis. The City Secretary read ;' the caption of Ordinance No. 75-24. Councilman Dalton inr�uired if � , the ordinance should be on a first reading instead of an emergency '" ' basis.

Councilman Oliver stated that he also �, felt that he had acted hastily.

Mayor Tate stated that he � had voted against the agplication for several reasons: ` � � " (1) the applicant can not develop until utilities and � , highways are placed in the area. � (2) he was opposed to creating islands of development ; unless the developer is prepared to develop the � property at the present time. " (3) he felt that there was no need to rezone the land = now if development would not take place until in �' E the future because he felt it would pre-empt future � Ci�ty Councils from determining the highest and best � � use of the property. � (4) other land in this area had already been rezoned. � � � � g � � � ( I I E I � Councilman Dalton then stated that he remembered when the Council had I rezoned a tract of land at the encouragement of the applicant that � immediate zoning was needed in order for the developer to begin construction; the Council approved the zoning request and a "for sale" sign was on the property the following day. The Council then inquired about the type of motion that needed to be made. The City Attorney i explained that the Council could place it on a later agenda to reject ; it. Mayor Tate stated that he did not want to offend the applicants and that he really felt that they would develop the land but that he ' � felt they should wait until they were more definite about their ' ; development schedule. Mayor Tate then stated that the applicants be ; ' ; contacted as to what action the City Council was taking so that the ' ; application could be tabled and kept alive. Councilman Murphy then � � made a motion to table the proposed ordinance.
