plicable to "B-2" Bayfront Business District so as to authorize the Board of Adjust-
ment to approve signs advertising the hotel, motel or other principal business or
activity conducted on the premises upon which the sign will be erected, so as to
permit a sign of not exceeding a definite area to be determined in the final draft
of the proposed amendment by the City Council, and which will authorize the Board
of Adjustment to permit the erection of such sign even though in excess of 30 feet
of an area to be otherwise installed than by attachment flat against the wall of a
building; and when the form of such proposed amendment has been prepared by the
Zoning & Planning Commission, it shall be submitted to the City Council and then re-
ferred back to the Zoning & Planning Commission for public hearing, to be held
either jointly with the City Council or separately, as the Zoning & Planning Commis-
sion may determine; and further moved that the Zoning & Planning Commission be re-
quested to consider the question of establishing new district classification to be
designated by same special designation such as "Urban Rural" which will place in a
separate classification large size plots of land which will permit use on said land
besides residential use, of the keeping of livestock.

pedestrian ordinances, and urged Council endorsement for the following reccemenda-
tions of the Traffic Safety Advisory Board as part of an intensive Traffic Safety
Campaign being launched by the Board: 1) That the pedestrian ordinances be rigidly
enforced, on the basis that 7 of the 11 accidents this year involved pedestrian
violations; and 2) that a concentrated driver's license check program be started
mediately, on the basis that of all the accidents that occurred within the City
in 1961, 25%i involved at least 1 driver who did not hold a valid driver's license.
Commissioner Swantner suggested that the driver's license check be carried
on with a minimum of inconvenience to the public, and that long lines of cars not
be incurred since that would be a hazard in itself.
Motion by Barnard, seconded by Young and passed that the Council heartily
endorse and fully cooperate with the Police Department in accepting and approving
the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Advisory Board that the pedestrian ordin-
ances be rigidly enforced, and that a concentrated driver's license check program
be started immediately.
