He reviewed history of this parcel as to its commercial use in the past and up to its inclusion for possible annexation through efforts of Wm. Barnett and pre - zoning consideration to RH by Council directive to Planning Commission that it be zoned commercial. He reviewed Planning Commissions present study of this parcel as to commercial zoning as had been directed and their desire to also present other considerations for zoning this parcel. Planning Director from illustrated slide compared this corner and its isolation from neighborhood commercial center across the streets and improbability of enlarging to a neighborhood commercial develop- ment unless consideration given for enlarging area for this purpose, as this one parcel as commercial not considered good planning with adjacent RH zoning recently adopted. In this respect, he advised Mr. Barnett had made an application for rezoning front portion of his adjoining parcel for commercial zoning to allow small type office building in view of consideration to be given for commercial zoning on the Arthur & Blevins property. He also advised of the consideration made for zoning this parcel R-4 in view of the adjoining apartment house developments.
