COMMITTEE
REPORTS
Councilman
Ronald R. Kapp briefed council on the Planning Commission report on the
zoning of Jefferson Ave on the west side from 24th street to 25th street. A request was submitted by Jim
Rossi to change the zoning classification on his property at 2423
Jefferson Ave from its current classification of R-2 Residential Class
to B-2 Business Class. The Planning Commission’s recommendation to the

due to the fact this would be spot zoning. A motion by Elaine G. Hunt

Commission passed unanimously.
