V. OTHER BUSINESS
peara Rgzoning Decision. The Planning Commission reviewed Judge Meeks'
latest and apparently final opinion of the Pearce re -zoning. Mr. Hite
suggested that a possible course of action might be to rezone the affected
property from Multiple Dwelling to Office Building District. He also
suggested that the Office Building District of the Zoning Ordinance be
revised so as to permit limited commercial use. This commercial use, he
indicated, should be limited to those uses normally found within Office
Building District, such as restuarants, drug stores, card shops, etc.,
and should be further limited to a certain percent of the total gross
floor area within the office building. The Planning Commission asked that
additional study be given to determine the pormitted uses and the percent
of floor area to be used for commercial purposes and that a proposed
amendment to the ordinance be prepared and submitted to them at their
;next meeting.
Land Use Maty and 9t„ a,ig ic,s. A map upon which the existing land use with-
in the Villpge was indicated was submitted to the Planning Commission for
their study. Mr. Hite also presented some statistics regarding population,
dwelling units and percent breakdown of the acreage within the Village de-
voted to different types of land uses.
The land use analysis indicated that about 45 percent of the acreage with-
in the Village is devoted to residential use, roughly 15 percent to other
urban uses and almost 40 percent of the Village was presently vacant land.
Mr. Lewis pointed out that some of the vacant land was already zoned for
specific uses while other portions of this vacant land would have to be
considered as undesireable for development due to poor soil conditions.
