Swartzfager et al to erect a one-story building for medical offices on the west side of Rancho Road between Charleston Boulevard and Palomino Lane, approved by the Commission on March 30, 1955 and an appeal having thereafter been filed by protestants, His Honor asked that the attorney for the objectors present her reasons for appeal. Mrs. Jeanne Houssels appeared before the Commission at this time and spoke briefly on the objections of her clients, Mr. and Mrs. Connie Hurley, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Teel and others signing the appeal for rehearing. Mrs. Houssels also filed a written report on the basis of her argument for rehearing. She further pointed out certain ambiguities in the planning and zoning ordinance concerning the time for objections to and filing of appeals from use permits, and requested another hearing on this matter. Mr. Bruce Beckley, representing the applicants for the use permit, also was present and stated that he felt that sufficient hearings had been held on this application. He indicated that the protestants had not appeared at the proper time to voice or file their objections. Howard W. Cannon, City Attorney, reported that there were certain ambiguities in our ordinance, but further stated that he felt that the Commission had properly followed the procedural steps in this instance.
