21a,
area in a Zoning District that would help preserve, promote.and*protect this kind of
development; with this in mind,.they recaomend that the,petition to change the zoning of
these properties from residential district to commercial district -,be denied because the
commercial district is virtually an uncontrolled district and would permit the construction
of many land uses that would be iucompatable with the established motel use; in.order to • .
promote the future development of this area, with the assurance of some protection under the
Zoning Ordinance, they recommend that -the Council initiate a.change of.zoning on -the above—.
.
properties including that part of Lot 2, Block 22, Golden Hill. -Addition -which lies west of
• U. S. 63 south, from residential to the multiple dwelling district. Upon motion by McCaleb;

Highland Addition, -now vacated (228-19th Ave. S.W.), find-that`the property is contiguous
to the city limits and_the owners desire to connect to the City sewer and water system

to be reasonable as long as the B-2 district was fairly well confined to -the Central Retail
Bsuiness Center of theCity; we have had several requests from a number of property owners to
expand the B-2 District,and have recommended these changes to the Council for approval; these
revisions have resulted in a substantial expansion of the B-2 district and -there is no
overall plan to provide 4dequate off-street parking on an individual or joint basis in this
area; and,therefore they recommend that Articles 41.11 and 41.110 be eliminated.from the text
of the proposed Zoning -Ordinance thereby subjecting the B-2 District to the off-street
parking regulations of the Ordinance, was read. Upon motion by McCaleb, second by Wilson,
