477 PUBLIC HEARING , Planning Commission ' s Resolution of Intention initiating proceed - ings to amend certain sections of the Zoning Ordinance , No . 1130 , relating to General Zoning Ordinance text amendments . Mayor Keckley noted that the document before Council was lengthy and complicated , and that it involved checking it back against the existing ordinance to deter- _ mine what is being changed . He expressed willingness to proceed with the public hearing , if the Council was prepared to do so . Councilman Norris advised that he had discussed the matter with the Planning Director because of similar con- cerns , with regard to the absence of sufficient information relative to reasons for , and consequences of the amendments . Councilman Rhodes supported these concerns , and also felt that the matter should be given sufficient publicity because of the significance of the amendments . Councilman Rhodes moved that the public hearing be continued , without opening , to August 27 , 1973 , and public given more notice , seconded by Councilman Norris . Mayor Keckley felt that a change of this kind in the ordinance should also be considered with a full Council present . City Attorney offered to provide Council , since there was sufficient lead time , with marked -up copies of the Ordinance , showing the changes . Council asked that copies also be provided to the Library , so that citizens would have the opportunity to read it also , City Manager indicated that in addition , after discussion with Planning Director , in this case and for similar situations in the future , they would set about translating this into a philosophy statement of position , and work that down to specific recommendations . Perhaps that could also be given to the Library and/or publicized by the media . Mayor Keckley acknowledged that this would be appropriate .
