These would be Class IIA, low density, and Class IIB, high density. The Class IIA division would be restricted for resi dential structures only. These would Include single family, two family, multiple family Benefits Reviewed For Dependents Parents of deceased work ers, wno were dependent upon their son or daughter in the year prior to their death, may be eligible for depend ent parents benefits, accord ing to Edward B. Jacobson district manager of the Med ford social security office. The requirements for de pendency are, generally, that the parent must have been re ceiving at least one-half of to tal support from the deceased son or daughter in the year prior to death, and the de ceased must be fully insured. The term parent includes natural parent, step-parent, or adopting parent. The survival of a widow or minor child entitled to bene fits does not prevent payment to a dependent parent. Proof of support must be filed within two years after the workers death. "How ever," Jacobson stated, "for those dependent parents who could not otherwise qualify under the law prior to Sep temper, 1958, this proof of support must be filed no later than September, 1960." Remarriage of an entitled dependent parent will not ter minate entitlement if mar riage is to a person entitled to widow's, widower's, moth er's or child disability benefits. and court apartment type dwellings. The Class IIB division would include all of the resi dential uses, and would al low a number of non-residential uses such as offices and clinics. Medford's existing multi ple family zoning ordinance makes no distinction between residential and office type non - residential uses, per mitting them to be grouped together. Fealing of Committion It is the feeling of the plan ning commission that there should be multiple - family zones devoted entirely to resi dential use. These zones, it has been pointed out, serve as valuable buffer areas be tween commercial zones and single-family residential zones. On the other hand, there is some Justification in hav ing doctors clinics and offices set apart from commercial areas and closer to the rest dential areas. For this reason, the commission proposes that these uses be permitted in the Class IIB multiple-family zone. Under the proposed IIB multiple-family zone, only certain types of offices would be permitled in the office and clinic buildings. These would be architect or designer, ac countant, attorney, broker, dentist, doctor or other prac titioner of the healing arts, professional engineer, insur ance agent or adjuster, invest ment or management coun selor and land surveyor. Conditional Uses It is also being proposed by the commission that certain types of conditional uses be permitted in various zones. This would mean that cer tain structures would be per mitted in certain zones if they met specific conditions set up under the zoning ordinance. There are no provisions for conditional uses in Medford's existing zoning ordinance. These conditional uses would Include public parks and playgrounds, public and private schools and fire sta tions and other public build ings. These uses have always been permitted in the zones but they have not had to meet any special conditions. Uses Noted The conditional uses which would be permitted in Class 1A single-family zones and all succeeding zones are: 1. Churches. 2. Public parks, play grounds, recreation buildings. 3. Schools, which includes nurseries and kindergartens, primary, elementary, junior high and senior high schools and non-profit colleges. 4. Public buildings, such as fire stations, library or mu seum. 5. Utility substations or pumping stations with no equipment storage. The conditions would in clude compliance with spe cial setback lines, limitations on lot access and openings to buildings and a minimum lot size for certain uses. A con ditional use would have to comply with these conditions, in addition to the require ments set forth for each zone. Whether a use complied with the conditions set forth or not would be up to the planning commission to deter mine. The planning commis sion could also create other conditions if it thought it was in the public interest to do so. There would, of course, be the right of appeal of the planning commission rulings to the city council. Several other conditional uses which would not be per mitted in single-family zones, would be permitted in Class 11B multiple - family zones. These would include hos pitals, medical and dental ters, clubs, lodges and fra ternal organizations and nurs ing or convalescent homes. The proposed multiple-family zone would also set up different lot size requirements for the two divisions. Under the Class IIA division lots would have to be a minimum of 5,000 square feet for one and two family dwellings, 6,000 square feet for three family dwellings and for each additional dwelling, the lot area would be increased by 2,000 square feet. Under the Class IIB, the lot area would have to be a minimum of 5,000 square feet for single or two-family dwelling units and for each dwelling unit more than two the lot area would have to be increased by 1,000 square feet. Planning Consultant Ned Langford said these required lot sizes are probably less than the existing average lot size in the city. Another proposal of the planning commission is that new and additional off-street parking regulations be adopt ed for residential zones. The off-street parking regu lations would be applied to dwellings, offices, churches libraries and schools. Dwell ings would be required to have one parking space per dwelling unit. Churches would be required to have one space per four seats or eight feet of bench length in the main sanctuary. Parking Requirements Elementary, primary and junior high schools would be required to have one space per classroom plus one space per administrative employee. High schools would be re quired to have one space per classroom, one space per ad ministrative employee, and one space for each six stu dents. The proposed parking re quirements, conditional use and new zoning provisloni would be applicable only to buildings constructed after the regulations are adopted. Structures which existed pri or to adoption of the new zon ing provisions would be per mitted to remain as they are and would come under tha non-conforming use classifi cation. It took the planning de partment and planning com mission more than two years of work and study to come up with the proposed changes, revisions and additions to the zoning ordinance. The planning commission indicated at a special joint meeting of the commission and the city council Thurs day night that it would soon call for a public hearing on the proposals. Before the proposals would go into effect, they must first be approved by both the plan ning commission and the city council. Public hearings will be called by both bodies be fore adoption.
