MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT NO 66-2 STUDY AREA II 8/2/66 Page No. 7 Minutes: H.B. Planning Commission Tuesday, August'2, 1966 The Secretary informed the Commission that the City Council referred the proposed Master Plan Amend went No 66-2 - Study Area II back to the Commission for further study and report. The Planning Commission considered the matter and it was their consensus to recommend adoption of the amended proposal by the City Council for the following reasons: 1. The commercial zoning south of Warner Avenue and West of Beach Blvd. should remain, because most parcels are small, a commercial zone will allow a greater variety of uses than the R-5 zone and office uses are permitted in commercial zones. 2. The area on the east side of Beach and north of Holland Drive should remain commercial, because the area is mostly undeveloped and a commercial zone would encourage development. 3. The existing commercial on the northeast corner of Beach and Slater has set the pattern for development at that corner. The land east of this strip can be effectively used as office - professional, because the parcels of land are of sufficient size for R-5 uses. 4. North of Warner the commercial lines are being established and undeveloped areas should be left in residential until new lines of commercial are established.
