After due consideration of this matter, the Commission voted unanimously to hold a public hearing thereon on Tuesday, June 10, 1958 at the City Council Chamber. This meeting was duly advertised, both in the newspaper and copies of this public notice being mailed to all individuals in the affected area. At this hearing Mr. H. Grady Moore, one of the petitioners, appeared and one other member of the public having property in the affected area. The Commission noted that no objections were raised to the proposed rezoning. Further consideration was given this request at a meeting June 18, 1958. It was noted at this meeting that a petition had been received from owners of property in the area, objecting to the rezoning. This objection not withstanding, your Commission voted to recommend to Council that the entire area as requested be rezoned from B-1 Business and A-1 Residential. It was the feeling of your Commission that this property would be more properly zoned as A-1 Residential. Your Planning Commission respectfully submits this recommendation for Council's fUrther consideration.
