Mayor declared the Public Hearing open. Mr. Hamilton spoke from the floor and indicated that this property had been used commercial for at least the last fifteen years. He now wishes to rent this building to a sign company. Discussion was entered into. Bailey pointed to the fact that this was very close to the Telephone Company garage; 1,9ay'_Old'.Stock Bakery; and felt the request was in order. Wiseman stated 1.06 PASCO, WASHINGTON COUNCIL CHAMBERS REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 17, 1965 that he was against spot -zoning; that he is in favor of the comprehensive plan. Greenlee cautioned that although at . the present time it is planned to have a sign shop at that location, once it is zoned C-1 other types of businesses subsequently could be operated at that same address. At another location, out of zone, the individual had been al- lowed to operate with the understanding that restrictions were placed on the license, and that should he not keep the business neat his license would be picked up -- he has kept his promise to the City. Griggs stated that in the same neighborhood - the same distance from the home for the ,elderly, there are businesses operating: the Telephone garage; bread store, etc. The letter from Planning Commission was read, setting out these reasons for the Commission not granting the request to rezone: The proposed zone change would be in conflict with the comprehensive plan for the City of Pasco. The Planning Commission proposed the area in question to be zoned as High Density Residential in the new_ proposed zoning ordinance for the City of Pasco. That the general characteristic of the neighborhood is tending toward high density residential use, due in particular to the new home for the aged being built directly north of this area, and of the court apartments that exist presently on the west side. Mayor declared the public hearing closed. Motion made by Bailey, seconded by Stork, that this re est be granted. Motion carried: 5 -yes votes; 2 -no votes (Carter and Wiseman voting "No") (Bailey, Greenlee, Griggs, Robinson and Stork voting "Yes"). VISITORS: JERRY COWLES from the Standard Station at 10th and Lewis requests that the City reconsider the placement of the lane divider strips on 10th; that they hinder access to his service station at that location.
