VII. NEW BUSINESS: Chairman Burns advised.that there has been much criticism of the commerciali- zation of the City. He pointed out that the City has merely allowed development as the parcels are zoned. He is suggesting th:a:tthe Commission study the exis.ting zoning, stating that some parcels due to certain changes, are in effect spot zoned, especially those in the area of I-480. He is re- questing that the Commission study the following parcels: (1) the area east of Columbia Road, north of 1480; and south of.the area zoned Multi-Family along Brookpark Road which is presently zoned "A" Residential to be rezoned to Multi-family; (2) parcel west of Columbia Road, north of 1480 and abutting property zoned Mixed Use on two sides presently zoned Single Famil_y "A" to Mixed Use; (3) area south of 1480, west of Great Northern Blvd, and north of rear property lines of lots facing Butternut Ridge Road, presently zoned "A" Residential, to Multi-Family; (4) area south of 1480, north of Kennedy Ridge Road off Columbia Road presently zoned Mixed Use to Multi-Family; (5) the area of the soccor fields adjacent to Timber Trails Subdivision pre- sently zoned Mixed Use to "B" Residential; and (6) small wedge of property facing Bradley Road and next to Wild Oak Drive presently zoned Limited Industry to "B" Residence. The members will study these and discuss them at a future•meeting and possibly suggest other areas to propose for re- zoning in order to present an inclusive plan to the Council.

Mr. Morgan is con- cerned that, if that were the procedure, many contractors would not present final plans and stated that if the changevere minor the Building Commissioner might be able to approve.

Mr. Conway would also like to revise the list of requirements for submission to the Commission so that it is more specific and would like to specify that all materials and colors be indicated on the nlans with the ma.nufacturer's name and number. He would like to have each chairperson sign the plans which were approved. He also suggested an expiration date be established so that if the building permit wag not issued by a certain date after approval was given, the.approvals would expire. Mr. Dubelko will look into formulating some kind of legislation for this. It was also suggested that the codes
