City Manager R. Marvin Townsend announced the public hearing on Application
No. 879-4, Mrs. Leila E. Nelson, Messrs. Carl Cummings and Elmo Jackson, for a
change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "B-4" General Business
District on a tract of land which is an approximate 1.085 acre portion of Lot 3,
Shell Road Poultry Acres, located between Up River Road and Interstate Highway #37,
west of Violet Road.
City Manager Townsend informed the Council that the Planning Commission
recommends approval, and the Planning Staff recommends denial of the "B-4" but in
lieu thereof, that "R-2" zoning be approved to provide a transition for the residen-
tial area adjacent to the west. He stated that in response to the notices of the
public hearing, none were returned. Mr. Townsend then asked Mr. Larry Wenger, Chief
Planner, to summarize the case.
Chief Planner Wenger located the area on the zoning and land use map, des-
cribed the land use in the surrounding area, showed slides of the area, and stated
that the owners of the property planned to establish a family -type restaurant at
this location. Mr. Wenger also pointed out that the only access would be from Up
River Road.
Mayor Jones called on the applicant to speak at this time.
Mr. Elmo Jackson, one of the applicants, stated that there is a need for
this type of restaurant in this area; the access from Up River Road is excellent;
and he feels that "B-4" zoning would be ideal for this location.
