Answer to City Council giving reasons why rezoning be changed to 6 times a year and a minimum square footage of 1,000 feet in R4, R5, R5A and R6. Vice-Chairman Cochran stated that at the City Council meeting on June 20, 1983, they asked that the Zoning Commission give them reasons as to why they want rezoning changed to six times a year, rather than four; and why they are requesting that the square footage in the R4, R5, R5A and R6 zones be changed to 1,000 square feet. After a discussion by the Board members, it was decided that it was too long of a time to wait three months for a petition to rezone. Two months is long enough time and the Ordinance should be changed to allow for petitioffifor rezoning to be heard by City Council six times a year, or every two months. Insofar as the minimum of 1,000 square footage is concerned, the Board members feel that less than 1,000 is too small. There is presently no specific minimum footage listed in the single family dwelling section. They feel 1,000 is sufficient space, thereby eliminating any possibility to low cost housing with the square footage being smaller than 1,000 feet. There being no further business to come before the Board, upon motion made by Mr. Landry and seconded by Mr. Wheeler, the meeting was adjourned at 7:25 P.M.
