Planning Commission Tuesday, February 16th, 1960 PROPOSED REVISED I_ DEI{ 1.1AP The Planning Director ex - AND ESTABLISHT."ZI1T OF UITIFORI.T SECTIOITAL DISTRICT plained =that because of the T,APPIITG FOR ZO1TIiTG PURPOSES 'WITHOUT REVISIOIT OF EXISTIIVG two separate zoning ord- ZOITIITG inances now in effect with- in the City, it was of vital necessity to unify at least the mapping system in order that development and a zoning program as requested by applicants could effect- ively be administered. He pointed out that the present interim ordinance in some of the annexation areas only referred to maps which are not available to the City. Nor are these maps uniform in system.
