VISITORS: ARNE NEBLE addressed the Council and presented a petition bearing sig- natures of approximately 12 families in the Riverview area, asking what action was necessary towards possible annexation.

OLD BUSINESS: WRIGHT ZONE CHANGE REQUEST: Mayor Carter stated that Ordinance No. 1392 had been held in abeyance so that all councilmen might have an opportunity to consider it, and at this time, asked if they wished to bring it back for consideration.

The City Manager read AN ORDINANCE CHANGING THE ZONE CLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF PASCO FROM RESIDENTIAL R'-2 TO COMMERCIAL C-1 by Title only. Mr. Stork favored the zone change as spot zoning had been granted to other petitioners so that they might continue in business. Mr. Denney opposed change as he felt the entire block should be considered. Mr. Hendler favored zone change request as spot zoning had been granted before, and this particular area was adjacent to Commercial property. Mayor Carter again stated that because he was a member of the Planning Commission, he would have to vote no to the proposed change. He invited people to attend meetings of the Planning Commission, and if they felt there were discrepancies, then the Zoning Ordinance should be changed. Mrs. Lenhart, owner of property in question, favored the zone change and stated that the Planning Commission should not be dictatorial in their powers, and urged reconsideration of this request. Mr. Hendler moved that an Ordinance changing the zone classification of certain real property within the City of Pasco from Residential R-2 to Commercial C-1 be adopted. Seconded by Mr. Stork.
