Groves, Sr., as agent <br />for the D. S. D8vis F:state. This request was for rezoning <br />of the Davis property lying on the east side of Cleveland <br />Avenue from A-I Residential to B-1 Business. <br /> <br />Your Commission, after due consideration of this request, <br />voted unanimously to make the following recommendation to <br />Council: "That the petition be denied." <br /> <br />It was the feeling of the Commission that there is sUfficient <br />property in this general vicinity presently zoned as B-1 <br />Business to supply the needs of business development. The <br />Commission also felt that the B-1 zoning classification in <br />the present zoning ordinance is not sufficiently restrictive <br />in its use limitations to regulate business development in <br />this particular area. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission respectfully submits the above <br />recommendation for Council's further consideration. <br />
