.AMENDMENT OF RESOLUTION P. C. 154-366 (R-4 HIGH-RISE)
This i tern was postponed· from the July 9, 1962, regular meeting. City Council
action of June 19, 1962, concurred in recommendations ind interpretations of
Commission relative to high,-.rise standards, made by Commission on May 28, 1952.
The Council recommended that the Commission consider incorporating these changes
into the text of the ordinance by amending Resolution P. C. 154-366, and
referred for study a subsection "E" under Section 753 that would· provide that
variations in standards not allow any reduction of the street widths.
It was agreed to consider the proposed changes item by item, all changes being
unanimously approved. Connn. Black expressed bis opinion that Section 753
should require a majority vote for variances rather than a twot;thirds vote.
The Commissioners discussed this point, and it was the general feeling that
the Commission should be allowed to vary the standards, but it should be
ti'ghtened down so that the Commissioners would be in accord if variances were
requested.
The suggested subsection "E" und<'n' Section-753 was considered, and on motion
by Chairman Hales, seconded by Comm. Black, it was unanimously agreed that a
letter be written to the City Council in answer to their June 20 letter to the
Commission, to the effect that the Commission has studied the last paragraph
of the letter in reference to a study of subsection 11E11 under Section 753
that would provide that Variations in Standards not allow any reduction of the
street widths, and it is felt by the Commission that the safeguards already
built into Secti 011 7 53 are adequate to safeguard the interests of the developer,
the adjacent property owners and the community in general, plus the additional
safeguard of Section 751-L.
Chairman Hales moved that the specific items as discussed relative to proposed
amendments to the zoning ordinance N. s. 154, adding an R~4 High-Rise article,
be accepted. The motion, on second by Comm. Black, was unanimously approved.
Comm. Noble moved adoption of Resolution P. C. 154-388 amending Resolution
P. C. 154-366 as reconmended at the May 28 meeting, and reconnnending to the
Council that a clause be written into this section of the ordinance to permit
changes to be made in it in a manner prescribed by Section 1500 of N •. s. 154.
Comm. Locken seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
