without jeopardizing the protection of the next adjoining residential prop-
erty. (For example: The property on Bissonnet from Kirby to Wakeforest is
commercial, and property from Wakeforest to Be3.mont and Belmont to Buffalo
Speedway is residential. Can the property fronting Bissonnet from Wakeforest
to Belmont be rezoned for commercial use without jeopard$zing the next block,.

nated, such as Office buildings, but restricting service stations, store

weaken the City's stand against "spot" zoning of single lots in other areas?)
