Gentlemen:
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has reviewed a peti-
tion to have portions of Keystone

proved by the Commission. Under
the new plan there is no public
need for the portions of the two
streets in question.
It is the recommendation of the

that the streets be vacated subject
to any necessary utility easements.
Respectfully subDÛtted,

Honorable Mayor and
Council Members
Gentlemen:
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has held a Public
Hearing on the following proposal:
That the east 60 feet of lot 2
of lot 6-F, the east 60 feet of
lot 2 of 4-D and the east 60
feet of lot 2 of lot 1 of 4-D all
in the L. H. Langworthy Addi-
tion be reclassified from Mul-
tiple Residence to Bus;ness
District on the Zon;ng Map.
The property is presently used
for parking in conjunction with
commercial Uses located on Central
Avenue and 22nd street. The only
structure on the property is a
single car garage. The dimension
from Central Avenue to White
Street is 160 feet. Because of this
narrow depth, it ;s not pracUcal to
have commercial development fac-
ing on Central Avenue and Multi-
ple Residence development on
White Street as the present zoning
would encourage.
Because of the relationsh;p of
this property to the existing com-
mercial development on Central
Avenue and 22nd Street, it was
the Commission's opinion that Bus-
iness classification on this property
would perm;t appropriate Use of
the land. Nobody was present at
the Public Hearing to speak in op-
position to the proposal.
It is the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission
that the proposal as stated above
be approved.
