City Attorney Walden stated Item 4 was the second reading of
Ordinance which will cause the rezoning of certain lands from
existing classification to M-lA,' Restricted Industrial District
zoning classification. He said the property in question is
located North of the Dania cut-off canal and East of U.S. #1.
He said at the last meeting; the motion was that the area
east of Federal Highway be zoned so that a strip 300 feet
wide immediately East of the highway be' zoned B-2 and everything
else be zoned M1 A;' Industrial classification.
He said he had prepared the Ordinance for second reading in
accordance with motion.
Commissioner Houston said that 300 'feet would take in the property
owned by Cities Service.
Mr, James Brady appeared on behalf of Cities Service.
He said they had just been notified of the proposal for a zoning
change; that they objected to the rezoning as a carte blanche
rezoning because they had 25 acres which was annexed last year
which they had bought with industrial intentions of expansions
of the storage fields. He said there were no tanks stored there
at present to his knowledge. In answer to several questions,
Mr. Brady said he had very little information available because
they had just heard about this and he was present to voice
their objections; and to see what could be worked out.
Commissioner Marant said it should be made clear that when
the area had been annexed last year they had promised those
people that' they would have the area for industrial purposes;
that the proper procedure would be to pass the ordinance on
second reading and give the Cities Service people time to bring
this up before the Zoning Board and City Commission. He said
they had made a promise that there would be no interference with
the business of Cities Service; that he wouldn't go back on his
word and wanted the people to have every opportunity to work
something out with the City regarding that area.
Mayor Kelly said they could pass it on second reading and on
third reading they could delete. the section changing the zoning
on the Cities Service property; that on thethird reading they
could give those people as much time as was needed to work up
a legal description and work it out with the Zoning Board.
A member of the Zoning Board said he was in agreement with the
proposal of Commissioner Marant. He said the only thing was
that he would like to see that area zoned since it was unzoned
at present and people were waiting for some kind of zoning before
purchasing it.
Commissioner Houston said he didn't think they should pass it
on second reading until they had worked something out regarding
the Cities Service people.
Commissioner Marant said they could pass it on second reading
and work out all the details for the third reading.
Commissioner Marant made a motion that the Ordinance which
will cause the rezoning of certain lands located North of Dania
cut-off canal and East of U.S. #1 from existing classification
to M-lA,' (Restricted Industrial District zoning classification)
- be- passed on second reading; provided the third reading of the
( L ;Ainance was not presented until such time that property owners
''in that area were notified in writing by mail that the third
reading was to be held so they could voice their objections or
approval; the motion was seconded by Commissioners Waiters
and passed on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Commissioners Houston; Marants Waiters;
and Mayor-Commissioner Kelly:
