Change in Ordinance Sought for Churches Medford's city planners rec ommended to the city council last night that the zoning ordi nance be changed to permit building of churches in single family, two family and multiple family residential districts. lhe ordinance change speci fies that churches would be per mitted in residential areas only if certain regulations are ob served in construction. Among provisions are a 1 to 6 parking ratio, or one unit of parking for each six units of seating capa city, and a 20-foot property line setback on any side of the Eet makes you dance weeth joy! tj & Fandango ICE CREAM wot else? 1 3''flgafrsaa&1 building in which there is door or window. The existing ordinance per mits churches to be built only in multiple family zones. Prior to acting, on the ordi nance change, the commission held a public hearing on a peti tion from the Rev. L. D. Kruse, pastor of Bethel Assembly of God church, for a change of zone on property between Mc Andrews and Biddle rds., where the congregation proposes to build a new church. No Opposition No opposition was voiced to changing the zone from single family to multiple family. How ever, the commission denied the petition on the basis that the ordinance change pertaining to church construction would, if approved, authorize construc tion of the church there without necessitating a zone change. The commission also recom mended to the council that ap proximately 30 acres of city owned property at the county fairgrounds be annexed to the city. The property is located west of Bear creek. The recom mendation was requested by the city council. The reason voiced last night for he council's de sire to annex the property was that carnivals and other groups can now set up concessions on the property without being re quired to obtain city licenses.
