ginning at 10 am. next Wednesday
Additional importance is added in
| that hearing will be continued on the
proposal to permit shops and stores OF
the character of hotel facilities to be
incorporated in apartment houses. pro-
! vided the entrance to such shops are
| within the building and no signs are
displayed on the exterior.
Proposal Arouses Criticism.
This proposed amendment to the zon-
! ing code, which has aroused conflicting
| opinions and on which the commission
has called for full public consideration,
reads:
Uses which distinctly pertain to or
are appropriate adjuncts to hotel and
| apartment house uses, such as the fol-
| lowing: Drug stand. including soda
| fountain, perfumery, etc; barber shop,
beauty parlor, pressing or tailoring
establishment, cigar or news stand, SOU
venir stand, or restaurant, may be al
lowed by occupancy permit in hotels
and apartment houses in a residential
district, provided the entrance is en-
tjrelv inside the hotel or apartment
house. and no sign or display is visible
from the outside of the building; and
provided further, that those uses which
do not distinctly pertain to and which
are not appropriate adjuncts to hotel or
apartment house uses, such as grocery
stores, meat markets, drug stores. or
other commercial enterprises prepared
to serve a community or section of the
District, rather than the inhabitants OF
the single building in which they are
located, will be denied in hotels or
apartment houses in a residential dis
trict"
