PLANNING AND ZONING CO MMISSION
FEBRUARY 21, 1985
SUBJECT: REGENCY ESTATES SECT ION II PUBLIC HEARING -FEBRUARY 1, 1985
The Planning and Zoning Commissio n tabled the discussion of Specific Use Permit for Regency Estates Section II. The Commission believes that the Specific Use Permit should not be interpreted to correct past zoning descrepancies. Using the Specific Use Permit in this manner unfairly penalizes the tax pay ers of the City. The situation could be solved by issuing a building permit or requesting a variance from the Board of Adjustments.
The meeting was adjourned.
