the zoning decision should be made by elected officials. Mr. Mylander

UndeX' the above rccommei."l':}~d px.'ocodu:rc by Harland Bartholome\o1, the
Planning and Zoning Board operating under Sections 176.041 176..05 and 176.
06 is not obligate.d to hold public lle;;u'Iings in arriving at its recom-
mendation on 'zoning changes to the City Commission, but i~s decision
must be based on the follO\.d.ng special conditions which must be met: -
1.. C9nsider existing conditions including land use, lot area,
building height and ya~ds..
2. Be in accordance with a compreheneive plan~
3u Apply uniformly to eve~y parcel of land within the dis-
trict.
q~ Be reasonable in the 'sense that any property within a dis-
-rrict nmst'be able to be used for the purpose for which it
is zoned.
II. However, if Section 176.. 07 \ofere adopted, as set forth pX"ior ht!!re-
to, the Planning and Zoning Boa~d is specifically required to make a
prelimina~y report and hold public hearings thereon before sub-
mitting its final report and the City Commission could not hold its
public hearings or take action until it received the final report of
the Planning and Zoning Board..
Under Section 176.0 7 ~ the Planning ~'1d Zoning Board is required
to hold public hearings in every case wi~hout exception where a zon-,
ing change is involved which would result in duplication of public
hearings because the City Commission as the final authority in ap-
proving or disapproving a zoning change has a mandate 1:0 h.:>ld a
public hea~ing Defore reaching its decision under Sections 176~OS
and 176~06..

If "the Plam1.ing and Zoning BoaZ"'d ~vuS oper>ating under
Section 176.07 and protest was made befoT'e -the Board
by owners of 20\ of proper>ty in the specified area
mentioned in Section 176 ~ 06, ~To\11d the Planning and
Zoning Board be limited in l-.eaching a final report by the

6.. The e)tisting zoning ol'ldinanc€I allows the City Cormni!3sion
to zone all annexed prope:i:'ty as i'c sees fit (Ot"dinance 642) and seems
apprOptliil'te.. This method is inconsistent tnii:h. Chaptel'l 175 in tha.t,
there is no pUblic hearing" It ia recommended that hereafter all
pl'loperty be an.nexed \t7ith the most 1"estrict1.ve zoning and thereafteI"
the zoning be changed in accoI'dance with Sections 176,,05 and 176.06.
7.. Pt"oceedings hefoI'e the Planning and Zoning Board should be
simPle and informal.. Under present policy; any interested indivi....
dual or corporation has ahmys been extended the privilege of ap-
pearing be'fore the Planning and Zoning Board to present, his case..
This policy has worked well in the past and should be continued.. '
8. If public hearings were adopted before the Planning and Zon...
ing Boa~d under Section 176n07, such public hea~ings would be re-
quired in every zoning change,both because of the compulsovy language
in the Statute Section 176..07, and because to do other-..7ise Vlc.lUld open
the Planning and 'Zoning Board to the cri.ticism of not handling all
zoning change cases in a consistent manner~
9" Public hearings before ~hc Planning and Zoning Board would
necessitate the keeping of a recording of evc~y individual's testi-
mony as a basis fo~ the Planning and Zoning Boavd decision. 1~e rGa-
son fol" ,this is that this testimony might be 1"'equired in the subse-
quent hearing befoI"e the City Comj1d.ssion if any change ~ or i~consist-.

based on authority granted in Chapter 116 requires:
A. A repo~t by the Planning and Zoning Board.
B.A publio hearing as p1"'esct'ibed by law befoZ'e 'the
