Citizens 10 Draft
Questions for
Zone Hearings
Adviser Group to List
Topics for Session
On Lewis Report

The District has asked its
Citizens zoning Advisory Com
mittee to suggest the major
policy questions which should
be highlighted at public hear
ings TO begin May 81 on the
coming revision pro-
posals of Consultant Harold NJ.
Lewis.
Committee Chairman Thomas
j. Groom in turn has directed
the l3 subcommittee of his
group to meet las promptly as
possible" to carry out the re-
quest.
He called q meeting of his
executive committee for April 8
to consider the suggestions.
At meeting of the executive
committee this week, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner Thomas
b. Hunter and Robert o. Clouser,
District Zoning Commission staff
chief, requested the advice.
Report to Follow Hearings
Mr. Groom stressed that the
subcommittee should not at
tempt at this time to make spe-
cific recommendations on what
the new zoning regulations
should provide. That function
will be performed in a detailed
report by the advisory group
after the public hearings are
held by the coming commission.
The purpose of the immediate
recommendations will be to
point out the questions of broad
policy that should be considered
at the hearings. One. for ex-
ample. probably will be the inn
pact of Mr.. Lewis proposed off,
street parking requirements on
downtown development. Another
may be the impact of moves to
control population or employ
ment denslties in various parts
OF the city.
After two year study Mr.
Lewis, a New York coming con-
sultant. submitted his contro-
Iverslal report last November on
a complete shakeup of coming
regulations and maps. The pro-
posals set up new classifications
Tor Zonlng every piece of private
property in the city. A number
OF the proposals. tightening con-
trolls on land use. have stirred
bitter conflict.
Original Report Opposed
The Groom committee has
taken a strong position III OPP
position 70 major controls in an
earlier draft of the Lewis report
II has not yet reported officially
on the final draft. in which Mi
Lewis made a number of changes
Copies Of the report have been
distributed to the major citizen
groups throughout the city which
have expressed interest in the
coming problems. The citizen
groups will be expected to testify
at the public hearings.
The Zoning Commission is
empowered by law to adopt new
regulations after the formal
public hearings.
