The West University Place Zoning and planning Board convened in regular session
at the City .gall at 7;30 P.M., July 10, 1958, with the following members Ares-
ent: A. G. Davis, presiding; Messrs. Campbell, Gill, gannsh, Rice and Wilson.
The April 2nd request of Attorney Burke golman, representing the owners of prop-
erty on Bellaire Boulevard between the Telephone Company Building and the Y.M.C.A.,
petitioning sa d property be rezoned from single, family dwel ing restriction
to retail business use, as defined in Section V of the Zoning Ordinance, was
again reviewed.
Meanwhile, residents of adjoining property facing on Cason Street and residents
of property immediately across Cason had, at an informal tn~eting held at the
City gall May 22nd, voiced strong opposition to the proposed rezoning, and on
June 2, 195, f led a signed petition {dated May 27) formally requesting that
such rezoning be denied.
After long and careful deliberation, the Board at its Meeting July 10, 1958, re-
solved:
1. That zoning as prescribed by the. City of West University Place
was designed mainly for the protection of residential property.
2. That the owners of property in the immediate vicinity, as well
as residents of ..the City as a whole, are entitled to first con=
sideration in the matter of any proposed rezoning.
3. That to date, there has been shown no urgent necessity for ad-
ditional commercial property in this particular area,. to serve
adequately the needs of the community.
~+. That in general, the immediate vicinity, as well as the com-
munity as a whole would suffer more from the proposed re-
zoning than in maintaining the status quo.
Motion by Mr. gannah, seconded by Mr. Rice, that the Board recommend that the
request to rezone for commercial use the specified property facing on Bellaire
Boulevard between the Telephone Company Building and the Y.M.C.A. be denied.
