Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Commissioner Whipple. Commissioner Sharp stated that he was in sympathy with the property owners, but he would have to vote in favor of this application since the City Attorney's opinion was that the Board could not do otherwise. Mayor Baker also stated that he would like to qualify his vote that since the City Attorney's opinion was that this project would be sustained in Court, he would have to vote in favor of this motion. City Attorney Howard Cannon stated that he would like the record to show that he did not advise the Board of Commissioners that the Church is legally entitled to this use permit as a matter of law. At the hour of 8:25 P.M. the meeting recessed and reconvened at 8:50 P.M. with all members present as of the opening session. Consideration was given to the application of Louis Miranti to rezone Blocks 7 and 18; Block 6, except Lots 9, 15,16 and 47; Block 19, except Lots 11, 19 and 20; Block 30, except Lots 9 and 11 of Las Vegas Square from R-1 to R-3. Mr. Bills stated that this application had been approved by the Planning Commission, but the matter deferred from the City Commission meeting of January 18, 1956 pending a conclusion of the condemnation proceedings to acquire right-of-way for Decatur Boule­vard. He advised the Commission that this right-of-way has been acquired. Mr. Bills further stated that the reason for the exception of certain lots was that Mr. Miranti did not own this property at the time the application was made, but did own it now. He stated that the Planning Commission felt that the entire area should be rezoned R-3. Thereafter Commissioner Sharp moved that Blocks 7,6,18,19 and 30 of Las Vegas Square be rezoned from R-1 to R-3.
