98 TUESDAY QECEMBER 11. 1962 The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, with Mayor J. Frank Wilson presiding, was held in the Council Chamber, City Hall, Tuesday, December 11, 1962, at 7:30 P.M., all members being present, viz., Mayor J. Frank Wilson; Vice-Mayor Fred T. Renick; Harry L. Boaz; Thom~s J. Burch; and E. E. Stone. After the invocation, Council approved as read the minutes of its regular meeting held November 27, 1962. Pursuant to duly-advertised public notice; Council conducted a public hearing on Mr. G. N. DeShazo's petition--previously approved by the Planning Commission-- requesting the rezoning of his property at 27 Cleveland Avenue from "A-1 Residential" to "P-2 Professional". There being no opposition expressed to the proposed rezoning--except by one property owner living on Brown Street and then only to any erection of an ap~rtment building--Council, upon motion, adopted the following ordinance amending the City's Zoning Code and Map, thus granting the petitioner's request: BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Martinsville, Vir~nia, in regular meeting assembled this eleventh day of December, 1962, that the Zoning Code and Zoning Map of the City of Martinsville be and are amended to classify as "P-2 Professional" that cert~in property owned by G. N. DeShazo, consisting of one lot fronting on the east side of Cleveland Avenue opposite the present Martinsville High School property, further identified as 27 Cleveland Avenue. Upon being advised that the property owned by Broad Street Christian Church and located at the corner of Brown and Broad Streets--for which a tax exemption classification was requested by the church on November 27, 1962--does not qualify as tax-exempt property, Council denied the request and removed this matter from its agenda.
