Council sitting as a Committee of the whole, and the City Planning and Zoning
Commission.' These two bodies, sitting in joint session, formed the Joint

has adopted the Thoroughfare Plan and the Land Use Plan. These Plan elements are
now being used in reviewing development proposals.
.During the course of these meetings, many sessions were devoted to a complete
reading and study of the Proposed Zoning Ordinance for the City of Rocheeter.'
Meetings were arranged with various local -groups and all sessions were open to
•
the public. In an effort to reach agreement on the text provisions of the
Ordinance, many revisions have been made, at the suggestion of the many people
who have participated in this program. The Joint Committee on City Planning has
now completed itsstudy of the Proposed Zoning Ordinance and has incorporated
into the text many of the revisions that were proposed during the discussions
held on this Ordinance.
On April 24, 1963 the Joint Committee on City Planning voted to send the attached
