42 Regular Meeting June 14, 1982 Page 2 Mayor Craddock then opened the public hearing on this zoning request. No one wished to speak in favor or against the zoning request, so Mayor Craddock closed the public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of the request for zoning change be- cause it would cause increased traffic in the area and would be spot zoning on that block. In order for the Ordinance before the Council to be approved on first reading, it would require five votes in favor of the zoning change. Mrs. Norris moved to disap- prove the Ordinance on first reading and Mr. Brown seconded the mo- tion. On roll call the following vote was recorded: AYE: Brown, Farr, Craddock, Moore, Norris. NAY: Kreczmer, Mendez. ABSTAIN: None. The Zoning Ordinance failed to be approved on first reading.
