quirements for the district in
which it is located.
In the use regulations, each
of the six zoned districts or uses
is analysed and described: Single
residence districts are for single
residences; general residence dis
tricts are for two-family houses.
Single houses may be built in
two-fannily zones; semi detached
houses (side- by-side or duplex
houses) may be built in single
residence zones. Apartment
houses are segregated in specific
sections of the city, and yet may
be erected in industrial districts,
as may be hotels.
Under conditions, private clubs
not conducted for pecuniary
benefit are admitted in single
residence districts; riding schools
under health board supervision;
farms, hot houses, nurseries, truck
gardens, and the necessary build
ings accessory thereto.
In single residence sections. al
50, may 60 parks. Fairgrounds,
city recreation buildings. water
towers and reservoirs: churches,
schools, libraries, museums,
parish houses; hospitals (unccr
condition), sanitoria and philan-
thropic institutions. The taking
of boarders or the leasing of
rooms by a family resident on
the premises lodging houses
are a permitted use in single
family sections.
The section covering general
or two-family house districts,
permits the use of all that is al
lowable in the one-family dis
trict, and adds boarding houses
as distinct from private lodging
houses, hotels and community
garages. The matter of COM
munity garages is vexatious to
every planning board. Eight to
ten in unit is generally con-
sidered sufficient, and only one
unit in the average situation
that is, no crowding to the limit
of capacity on vacant lots.
Right down through the list,
any use permitted in single gem
eraI or apartment house dis
tricts, are permissible in business
districts.
Business districts are extern
sively defined and catalogued. In
substance business zone carries

fumes, odors, dust. or hazardous

fire or explosion or any other
cause.
Heavy industry is a problem
in many city, in fact in most
cities; not, however in Key West.
1t is OF interest to note, however,
that a great many cities in the
north and west are absolutely
prohibiting forty nuisance in
dustriesr,. and allowing twenty
four to operate out of rather
less general prohibited list Of "a.
/ believe q list of the 40 which
it is said TO be good zoning to for
bid, will be of interest, but not OF
much local value:
