Thecommjssioii-!received for further study a recom mendation for revising multi ple family zoning and a re port on wrecking yard restric tions. ' Owners Object Three-owners of property on Barnett rd. spoke against the .proposed zone change. They were especially critical of the service station idea. The planners' decision, to postpone action was antici pated. Those members present at an interim policy meeting Oct. 27 had agreed to defer rezoning interchange areas pending development of the freeway program. : Postponement, of action on the sign variances resulted from a city council decision last week. On a recommenda tion by Councilman Donald Hansen the council referred a recommendation bv the planners that one such vari ance be approved to a joint meeting. . According to Ordinace . Hansen pointed out that ac cording to the zoning ordi nance, variances are to be granted only when practical confiscation of property would otherwise result. City hall observers point ed out, however, that in spite of the ordinance it has been a council prajbtice to permit permit variances when other circumstances warrant. The proposal for revising multiple family zoning corre sponds to the suggestion made at the Oct. 27 interim meet ing by Lloyd Anderson, plan ning consultant from the Uni versity of Oregon's bureau of municipal and research Zone Divided The zone would be divided . into - two sections. The first would be limited to single family, two family and multi ple family dwellings. The sec ond would include other uses currently allowed in multiple family zones, such as profes sional and vocational office buildings, churches, clinics, hotels without stores and pub lic buildings. If and when revisions were approved, Duff pointed out, the present multiple family areas would have to be re- zoned in accordance with them Duff read a report from Ned Langford, city planning technician, on wrecking yards. Problems cited were air pol lution from burning, creation of blight areas and dispersal of residential areas. Restrictions Suggested Restrictions suggested in the report include location adja cent to an arterial street; set back of 100 feet; at least 500 feet from a residential area; .completely indoors or sur- rounded by a view-obstructing fence at least eight feet high; no scrap piled higher than the fence; and no burning M.
