The Mayor stated that he does not objectw thia entire Zoning Ordinance but to certain sections of it and feels that it ls a great irnprovement over any previous aoning ordinance and that the following changes should be considered by Council either immediately or when Council reconvenes in September if recommendations for such changes are received from the Planning Commission: Mixed Use District relative to Multiple Dwellings should safegaurd the number of rooms per unit as well as the number of units per acrea so as to help control an increase in population relative to future school needs. Industrial Destrict as outlined has not solved any immediate problem but put off to the future any development as the area is not conducive to public utilities for the next 5 years and that the rock strata being 3 to 4 ft. below the ?surface makes the expense too great for Industrial Development and that if it was the intention of Council to aleviate the tax burden immediately the Industrial area should have been left where it was previously. Section 1204..01 - The Planning Commission should have the authority to pass on preliminary plans in the Mixed Use Districte Lorain Rd. Zoning -The entire length of Lorain Road should be zoned General Retail and not restrict certain areas to local retail. Mr. Limpert stated that he felt some of the Council feel the same way as the Mayor but voted for the Zoning Ordenance in order to have an Ordinance to work from with the intention of working out these details at a later date. The Council concurred that this is not a hard and fast ordinance and that it can be amended or changed at any teme _just as other ordinances have been in the past. Mr. Christman stated the Zoning Ordinance as passed and the Zone Map were essentially the same as presented at the Public Hearing and that he was surprised that the Mayor had changed his mind about where the Industrial area should be located as he had seem to go along with the Industrial area being in the west of town. He stated that we have a valid ordinance but that as other members of Council have stated it is not a hard and fast ordenance but could be changFd at any time and that we should give this Ordinance a chance in order to determine wheit changes should be made.
