Comment:
The City Council scheduled this public hearing for
September 25, 1973.at the Council meeting of August

to add "multi—family residential reuse" to; those primary
reuses allowed in the CBS zone, the area bounded by
Burlington, Linn, Court, and Madison Streets. Housing
is allowed in the present plan, but not as:a primary
land use, and not on the ground floor level. Thus,
this modification would make multi -family housing a
primary land use and allows for construction at ground '
level and above. The Planning and Zoning Commission at
its September 13, 1973 meeting recommended by a 5-0
vote to change the Urban Renewal Plan.
