MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF EULESS CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
March 15, 1968
The Planning and Zoning Commission met in Called Session, on March 12, 1968, to
consider the proposed zoning ordinance as prepared by Mr. Caldwell . The Commis-
sion recommends certain changes in that ordinance, as set out in the minutes of
that meeting, for reasons listed as follows:
1 . The ordinance, as presented, would tend to remove most of the control
over businesses in residential areas.
2. Physician's end Dentist's offices should be allowed in any district where
hospitals are allowed or other related districts.
3. All classifications, other than A-1 and A-2 should provide screening from
these classifications.
4. It is difficult to note when you change sections or classifications in
the zoning ordinance as presented.
5. The average of twenty-five (25) feet should be used because of the shape
of lots, buildings and corner lots.
6. At present, a minimum of 1 ,050 square feet is required for single family
dwellings, and we are of the opinion this should be increased to 1 ,100
square feet.
7. Sixty-five (65) feet at the building line should be used here because
of "ple-sheped" lots -- some lots have only thirty (30) feet front
footage, but contain more than 7500 square feet.
8. The Regional Airport should be considered in this ordinance.
9. There is a need for Off-premises Consumption, as well as On-premises
Consumption.
10. . This cannot be read without turning the book completely around.
11 . Application for building permits and/or changes of zoning should be made
at City Hall . The procedure for handling of applications should be set
by the City Council , in order for a change in procedure to be made by
the City Council , rather than by amendment to the ordinance -- should
changes of law or conditions warrant a change in the procedure to be
followed.
