HEARING Rezoning Chairman Bost called the hearing to order Request at 8:00 P.M. to hear the request for a specific # use permit for an area not to exceed three acres in the form of a square with the center located (Grown Central #2) 900' east of the most westerly west line and 200' north of the south line of a 55.129 acre. tract described in a deed recorded in Vol. 2242, Page 211, of the Galveston County records. Mr. 0. K. Haynie and Bill McAndrews were present to represent Crown Central. The Chairman asked if there were anyone in the audience who wished to speak against the specific use permit. There were none. The Crown Central representative as.ked that this location be made "approximate." There was some discussion as to whether it would be better to ask for specific use on the entire tract rather than a small area, but it was decided that this would entail withdrawing the present request and submitting another, along with another hearing. This was not considered practical. 2 FPZC-M-10-4-73 MOTION WAS MADE by Raney, seconded by Phillips, that the Commission recommend the tract in question be granted a specific use permit for an oil well on the property as described. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 3. BUILDING PERMITS Autumn Hills Mr. David Strickler, Victor T. Cra�vblt.�U_,, and Nursing Home Ron L. Pohlmeyer were present to present a Expansion plan for the expansion of the Autumn Hills nursing home located at the corner of Quaker and Heritage Drives in an R--2 (Multi -family) Zone. The plans call for a total of 120 beds, compared with the present total of 47; 65 employees will be hired, compared with the present 27. A discussion ensued as to whether this was considered as a "hospttal," which is permissable in an R-2 Zone, or an "institution," which requires a specific use permit in an R-2 zone. It was determined that the state does not consider this a hospital. The representatives were advi.sed that a hearing was necessary before an ordinance could be passed granting them a permit to use the area as a specific use for an institution for the aged. The Secretary gave tham an application form for rezoning. This is necessary before any approval of any building permit. MOTION WAS MADE by Spears, seconded by Shore, that a hearing be called for November 1, alternate date November 8, at 8 P.M. for the purpose of considering the rezoning of the rest home loXt',and adjacent vacant lot to specific use from R-2. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Members who are able will meet on the site at 9 A.M. Monday to look at the area. Parking as presented is inadequate. 4. INFORMATION REPORTS A. Building Pe its.

Prior to this motion, it had been determined that the building plans as submitted to the Building Official were for the shell of the building, only, and no plans were submitted for partitions or front, although partitions and front were in the process of being built. The original protest by the Commission had been based on the location of the slab, but the attorney had advised us that this protest should have been made when it first happened. This latter violation was in the process of happening, therefore, it was filed.on. Also, no plumbing or electrical plans were evident. 6.
