Churches Would Be Driven
Out, Council Is Told.
EARLY REMEDY PROMISED
Cliange in Measure to Allow Un
hindered Religious 'Work to Be
Made; Confusion Explained.
Opposition to the proposed zoning
ordinance, in its present form, devel
oped at a hearing before the city
council yesterday when it- became
Known that new churches and schools
cannot be built in any district of the
city other than the districts of classes
IV, V or VII without an amendment.
Request was made that this provi
sion of the measure be amended.
Members of the city council as
sured the delegation that no discrim
ination would be practiced against
the church and that before the ordi
nance is finally approved provision
will be made giving the church every
opportunity of expanding without re
strictions. The proposed ordinance in
its present form does not affect ex
isting churches.
Rev. F. W. Black, pastor of the St.
Francis church, spoke against the
provision in the ordinance affecting
new churches, saying that it was an
effort to legislate the house of God
cut of the city of Portland.
Denunciation In Hitter.
Father Black was bitter in his de
nunciation of the authors of the pro
posed ordinance and predicted bitter
opposition to the ordinance if the
provision were not amended.
"I'o legislation should be passed
which hinders man from worshipping
God," said Father Black, "i care not
what a man's faith is, he has the
right to worship Diety without inter
ference." Mayor Baker assifred Father Black
and other members of the delegation
that the ordinance was merely pre
sented for discussion, and that the
city council would Co nothing to drive
the church from the city, but rather
would do everything possible to pro
tect the church.
"This council will respect God and
the church at every step," said Mayor
Baker. "Many times we have been
petitioned by representatives of
churches to effect zoning of some sort
to protect the church from intrusion
of some objectionable neighbors.
Therefore I believe that the zoning
ordinance on the whole will protect
the church, Just as it will protect
residential districts from improper
intrusions and also serve to give in
dustries the protection to which they
are entitled."
Zoning OrlR'InatorM Kxplaln.
Representatives of the planning
commission who drafted and sub
mitted the proposed ordinance to the
city council said that it was evident
that there was a misunderstanding
both as to the intent and the effect o
the proposed ordinance, in regard to
churches. All existing churches,
schools, public and semi-public prop
erties are established in class IV
"districts. Alterations and additions
to any of these properties can be
made to any extent.
New schools and churches are
recommended to go into any class
IV. V, VIT district, and may have addi
tional districts provided for them
anywhere by amendment to the
ordinance. This can be done, it is
explained, on motion of the city
council or planning commission, or
petition of property owners, after a
Rearing.
At present the ordinance as pro
posed provides that new single family
dwellings only can go into class 1
districts, which comprise a large part
of the outlying section of the city.
as recommended by the neighborhood
property owner committees.
G'onfUHlon la DiNCUNned.
Some confusion is undoubtedly due,
say representatives of the planning
commission, to the fact that districts
of class IV are not shown on the
maps, although every such property
as now exists is definitely established
by a note on each map.
Representatives of the planning
commission were unanimous in ex
pressing regret over the misunder
standing and announced they were
ready to correct any injustice that
might be pointed out. It was ex
plained at the meeting yesterday, that
in launching such a gigantic pro
gramme as the zoning of the city,
eome inaccuracies are certain to de
velop and It is for this reason that
public hearings are now being held.
City Engineer Laurgaard, ex-officio
member of the planning commission,
said yeBterday that he had voted
against the zoning ordinance at a
meeting of the planning commission
eolely because preferential provision
had not been included for churches,
schools and fire stations.
