Planning Commission Tuesday, October d,th, 1960 worked with the Planning Department in -the preparation of a very rough draft of the newly proposed Master Land Use Plan.

The recommendations of each individual member would be compiled onto a composite map for further debate and discussion. Informal studies would be continued until such time as all proposals were reviewed and collectively assimilated to represent the consensus of opinion of the Planning Commission as a whole. The Planning Department was assigned the task of preparing rough drafts of the assigned districts to be prepared and delivered to all members of the Commission. The department would be responsible for furnishing any additional information such as property ownership or existing land use maps. The Chairman announced the district assignments as follows: 1. All city area north of Heil Avenue. 2. All city area lying between Talbert Avenue and Heil Avenue. 3. All city area lying between Garfield Avenue and Talbert Avenue. 4.
