DEFINES BUILDING AREA
UNDER THE ZONING LAW

Regulation of the area of buildings
in business sections under the zoning
law will mean that a certain margin
Of the lots will have to be left free
around new structures to insure am
pie light and air. Maj. Roger G. Pow
explained today.
The entire area Of a corner lot can
be utilized for building purposes, Mai
Powell pointed out, because a corner
lot has plenty Of exposure for light
and air.
The area regulations also will apply
in suburban sections. it was said, to
prevent rows of attached houses
being built alongside of detached
homes.
None OF the Zoning regulations now
In course OF preparation will disturb
existing buildings as to height or area
They Will apply. however, IL after the
regulations are promulgated existing
structures are torn down for recon-
struction.
Maj. Powell returned today from a
trip to Pittsburgh. st. Louis and De-
froit. where he went to gather ideas
and data as to the coming regulations
being enacted in those cities,
The coming commission will soon
announce the personnel Of committees
OF taxpayers in various parts Of the
city who will be asked to co-opeu. te
with the commission in gathering The
views OF their neighborhoods as to
the height, area and use restrictions
which should be applied to their
