• Regular Meeting - 8/5/74 - Continued • 4 the newly annexed property to proper use. This would include the Barker property and surrounding property. He further stated that he was sorry that this had not been done. At the present time, the City has an ordinance that has a fee for rezoning. Mayor Thomas stated that he and Mr. Roberson of the Planning and Zoning Commission had discussed the matter and were planning a work shop with the Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission to make revisions down through the whole area. If the Commission was in accord, after the revisions were made, he hoped to be able to reimburse a portion of the rezoning fee. Mayor Thomas further stated newly annexed property owners were victims of circumstance and should not be penalized for rezoning. But if after the first zoning change, property owners would have to pay the fee. Mr. Walter Roberson, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission was recognized and stated that a • study was being made in the immediate area where Mr. Barker's property is, and the ideas have not been presented to the Commission, but proposed a 1500 foot border or the city limit line on the west, all the way down to Spencer Highway; proposed to go on the east side to 16th Street. He further stated that although this had no bearing on the property in question, he wanted to give an idea of the extent of the proposed change going from 225 all the way down to Spencer on the west side. On the east side we propose to go from 225 all the way down to Fairmont Parkway, which is approximately 1500 feet, or to the 16th Street line. This would all be made Commercial property which forms a border against the railroad and allows them to build commercial in there and propose to add Light Industry with Special Permit Only for any application for any plant that is built in this district will come back before it can be built will have to apply for a special permit to build anything in the manufacturing area and we still have the control. First it comes before the Planning and Zoning Commission; next it goes to the building inspector; and then it comes back to the Commission for approval for any permit in that district. Mr. Roberson stated that he wanted to inform everyone what was being worked on and what they were going to • ask the Commission to work with them on.
