PLANNING ~ ZONING MINUTES MEETING 'OF 4-6-89 PAGE 2 'OF 5 At this point Mr. .Gwaltney said he did not know the procedure or what had to be done in order to get this zoned "R-1". He asked the Commission what needed to be done row and also if it would be feasible to get a petition signed by citizens of the area. Mrs. Graves informed him that the meeting tonight was to discuss the classifications for the entire area and that they would not be voting. Mr. Armstrong stated that there was one regulatory ordinance, Ordinance No. 811, that is in effect at this time. The ordinance is not a zoning ordinance, but it does regulate mobile home parks. This ordinance (No. 811) has regulations that are not zoning regulations involved. Even if the determination is made that there is "grandfathering" for the use of mobile home parks, Ordinance No. 811 would still apply as a regulatory ordinance and that part might alleviate some of the concern of the mobile home parks. BREAK: 7:15 - 7:25 Pleeting was called back to order by Mrs. Graves and she expressed • her appreciation for everyone attending the meeting and showing their interest. Mrs. Graves said she felt the Commission could work with each one's concerns and would do so to the best of their ability. At this point she turned the meeting over to Joel Albrecht, Director of Community Development for staff's input.
