Mayor Hinkle further indicated that the Planning Commission considered Mr. Martin's request for rezoning and unanimously recommended to the City Council that the zone changed be denied.

Mayor Hinkle then opened the public hearing. Ms. Estelle Gunkel, representative of the Planning Connnission, indicated that it was the Planning Commission's suggestion to look at the whole strip along Highway #10 from Jackson to Proctor south of the railroad track and north of Highway #10. Ms. Gunkel further indicated that the Planning Commission was intenested in more public input regarding the rezoning of that area. I The City Administrator indicated that the current zoning is for industrial and further suggested that a Highway Commercial zone would be more compatible with the area and that it would provide a better land use. Councilman Schuldt indicated that he felt the area to be considered should be bounded by Oxford Street, rather than Proctor, because of the residents along Proctor Avenue. The City Administrator further indicated that with the current zoning of 1-2, the residents along Proctor are presently nonconforming. It was the general consensus of the City Council that the Planning Commission re- view and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the rezoning of the area north of Highwqy 1110, south of the railroad track, west of Jackson Avenue and east of Proctor, to a Highway Commercial zone.
