commercial region should oe

JuStement,
Would End Two Zones
His committee called for the
elimination of two special
purpose" zones - Mr.. Lewis
wanted to set up for the first
time. Mixed uses of buildings
in these neighborhoods chang
ing their character would be
permitted. under the Lewis
plan.
Although they offered nc
specific solution, the citizen
committee stressed the need
for reducing "nonconforming
uses" members said would be
created by the Lewis proposals
These are uses to which build
ings and houses are turned
after they were built for other
uses limited by coming regu-
lations.
Provisions of this noneon-
forming use chapter of Mr..
Lewis should be rewritten in
its entirety to simplify it and
to eliminate red tape" Mr..
Justement reported. The de-
mand for the rewrite was
unanimous.
The citizens praised Mr..
Lewis coming maps as excel
lent" But they all ought to be
changed to conform with citi-
zens' recommendations. they
said. They suggested that the
final maps not be drawn until
the final adoption of coming
code by the city.
Business District Expansion
Future maps ought to extend
the central business district
farther west and north, accord
ing to the Justement commit
tee. 1t also recommended that
new mapping avoid sweeping
changes in wholesale creation
of nonconforming uses"
Mr.. Justement wrote in con-
GLIDING the report that the
numerous unanimous actions
should not be interpreted as
mere acquiescence with q sub
committee report or with a
recommendation by the chair
man"
They are the result Of an
earnest effort to modify the
precise language Of each of
our subcommittee recommen-
dations as carefully as possible
so that those recommendations
would be acceptable to the en-
tire committee" Mr.. Justement
said.
He said final revisions should
not be limited to the citizen
report, but should follow its
general intent.
Gen. Lane hopes TO merge
citizens suggestions with those
of Mr.. Lewis and local govern
ment coming officials at a meet
ing also set for Monday Of the
Zoning Commission.

two to five years for planning
and financing. To allow own
ers to proceed with their nor
NAL planning activities. Gen
Lane ought to decide to put
the regulations in effect 80 days
after their adoption by the
District zoning Commission,
according to the Justement
report.
But within that 80 days. any
builder could ask for a con-
tinuance of current coming on
plans underway. Such builders
should be granted at least two
years to put up their projects
under the rules now on the
books, the citizens recon-
mended.
Changes Listed
Major changes, almost all
voted unanimously by Mr.,
Justement's committee, we're:
Height-The 1910 act setting
a l30-foot height limit down.
town should be revised to per-
NIT a maximum building height
of $50 feet throughout the city.
The Zoning Commission would
have full authority to regu-
late heights within the over
all limit" the report said. Mr..
Lewis wants the same general
height limits now in the law
to remain to guarantee a low
level, monumental capital city.
Parking-The citizens omit
ted any parking requirements
in the downtown area. Mr..
Lewis, by a complicated for
mula. sought to give each oc-
cupant of a new Office building
parking space. In residential
areas. the citizens accepted a
standard very near that of Mr..
Lewis for single-family dwell
ings and low-density apart
ments.
But Mr.. Justement recon-
mended only one parking space
for each eight dwelling units in
efficiency apartment buildings,
compared to eight spaces urged
by Mr.. Lewis.
Floor space--The citizen
group accepted Mr.. Lewis new
formula for controlling floor
space by the size of lots. But
they upped the actual footage
under the formula through
both residential and business
districts. Mr.. Lewis maximum
floor space was seven times the
square feet of the lot on which
new Office buildings or stores
are built, compared to 10 times
the square feet asked by the
citizens.
THE citizens figure will al
low more floor space and more
people to occupy that space
than would Mr.. Lewis figure, I"
Louis Hodges, special assistant
to Mr.. Groom. explained. He
said the Lewis formula "ac-
tually would decrease population
and create stagnation and
blighted areas"
Mr.. Lewis has defended this
controversial provision as a
weapon against decay Of the
city. His theory is that an
overcrowded central city will
choke traffic and crowd out
customers.
Open spaces-Citizens pro-
posed stricter standards for
side yards. back yards and
open courts than the present
code, Mr.. Justement said. They
are as strict as Mr.. Lewis. out
not as complicated. according
to Mr.. Justement.
ZOning districts--Mr. Juste-
ment's group limited CONNER
cial zones to two kinds OF
uses. compared TO five urged
by Mr.. Lewis. The two are for
