60 TUES DAY OCTOBER D, 1953 and, accordingly, called for a public hearing to rezone said properties (from "A-2 Residential" to "B-1 Business") to be held at its forthcoming Council meeting of November 10, 1953. In response to Council's request of September 22, 1953, the Planning Commission submitted its recommendation, which the Council accepted, concerning the requested rezoning of property on Spruce Street Extended from II'A-l Residentialll to "B-1 Business", as follows, the Council calling for a public hearing to be held November 10, 1953: This is with reference to two petitions referred to the Planning Commission by the City Council, one petition being from Lanier Farms, Inc., the other from the City Electric Division, each requesting the rezoning of property along the north side of Spruce Street from A-I residential to B-1 business. The Planning Commission wishes to advise the City Council that they have given due consideration to this matter and submit the following recommendation: That the area be rezoned from A-I residential to B-1 business, following the Planning Commission's policy of depth zoning of 150 feet, with a 50 foot fire limit band around the business area, making a total depth of 200 feet back from each street line; that the area rezoned be only the area as shovm on an attached map of this area, in red, being generally described as follows: Beginning at a point in the north line of Spruce Street and on the line between Lanier Farms, Inc., and the property facing Parkview Street and lying on the N. E. corner of Par~~iew and Spruce Street; thence following the north line of Spruce Street, 150 feet deep, to the intersection of Spruce Street and the Old Danville Road; then follmV"ing the southwest side of Cld Danville Road tOl'iard Park-view Avenue, 150 feet deep to the present B-1 business zone on Old Darwille Road. It will be noted that a new proposed 50 foot street shown on the attached map leading off Spruce Street to the north is anticipated. It is also the recommendation of this Commission that the property along both sides of this street be rezoned 150 feet deep from Spruce Street to the northerly boundary of the property of Lanier Farms, Inc. The Planning Commission wishes also to state its reasons which it feels will justify the above rec~uendation. They are as follows: 1. This is a logical extension of the business zone already in this area. 2. The area recommended is undeveloped at this time and is topographi- cally suitable, and it is felt that it is ideally located for a community shopping center ,lith &'TIple parking fadli ties to serve Druid Hills and Forest Park, since they are approximately three miles from cloym town.
