Mr. Sutton moved the ordinance be approved on first reading. Mr. James seconded the motion which passed unanimously. The Mayor opened a public hearing to consider a request for a change in the zoning of Lots 8 and 9, Block 1 of Rio Vista Terrace Subdivision from R-l to M. The applicant, Charles Cole, was present to make his request to the Council. It was noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended approval and received a petition from persons owning more than 20% of the property within two hundred feet of the subject property; therefore, a three-fourth majority vote of the Council was required to approve the ordinance. Mr. Cole said that the two lots had been used as a parking lot for many years and it was his contention that they enjoyed a non-conforming status and could continue to be used for parking. He had requested the zoning change so that he could make improvements on the lot. Mr. Cole was advised by the City Attorney that proof from previous owners would need to be obtained stating that the lots had been used as a parking area since the adoption of the General Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Thomas Darby, owner of property located within 200 feet of Lots 8 and 9, were present to object to the rezoning. Mr. Breihan stated his contention that if the property did enjoy a non-conforming use that he had no objection to changing the zoning since it was better to bring the property up to proper standards.
