protesting approval of that tract. He noted that in order for that tract to be rezoned, it
would require a 3/4 vote of the City Council for approval.

of Tract 3D1, stated that the tract is zoned C-1 with approximately 350 feet of frontage
on Pipeline Road. He noted that there is commercial and industrial zoning around this
tract. He explained that the tract is part of a profit sharing fund and the proposed

Ms. Julia Cook, owner of two fourplexes on lots adjacent and south of the subject
property, stated she appreciated the compromise reached at the Planning & Zoning
Commission Meeting.

Terrace, since 1973 and it has been zoned C-2 since the early 1980s. He stated that
when it was zoned C-2, his property taxes increased approximately 10 times the previous
amount. He further stated he did not believe changing the zoning on his and surrounding
properties to R1 was the appropriate action. He said some of the property under
consideration might be better zoned R-1, but there needed to be some transition from the

noted that a written letter of protest was received from Andy Chesney, owner of Lot 3,
Block 1, Clark McKelvey Addition.

the subject property would require a 3/4 vote of the Council for approval.

properties along SH 10 were rezoned to C-2 about two years ago. Lot 3 is zoned PD for
the wrecker service and he requests that the PD zoning remain. He wanted assurance
that as long as a wrecker service remained in business on the property that there would
not be a problem even if the business were sold.
