ZONING APPLICATION Z82-01 (DEARING) The first order of business was for the Planning & Zoning Com- mission to consider Zoning Application Z82-01 (Dearing) and make a recommendation to the City Council.

It was suggested that they restrict the use of the mini-warehouses to storage only by granting an "SP" Specific use Permit for only that part of the tract of land on which the warehouses would be located, thus enabling the applicant to continue operating his service station on the remainder of the tract under the "C-2" zoning. Member Gerald Norman then made a motion to approve the zon-;,ng application for "SP".Specific Use Permit to include the northern- most 30 feet of the subject tract for the construct ' i on and use r1i, mini-warehouse buildings for storage purposes only, with the re- mainder of subject tract to remain under the "C-2" Community Business District Zoning Category.
