Approved Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Elwell, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor Mayor Gragson voting aye; noes, none. LIQUOR LICENSE The Commission considered the request of Cecil Lynch, doing business as the Change of Fortune Club, 22 Fremont, to change from a tavern operation to a package Operation operation under a Tavern License. This request was held in abeyance for a full Board at the last regular meeting held October 7, 1959. Fortune Club Cecil Lynch stated the Fortune Club had been closed for about ten days and he Approved felt this change of operation would enable him to continue in his business on a paying basis. Commissioner Elwell stated that under a Tavern License, ordinance allows the sale of package goods. Mr. Lynch answered that he was aware of this but it had been the policy of the Board that under a Tavern License the primary business would be for on-premise consumption. In view of the applicant's statement, Commissioner Fountain moved the request of Cecil Lynch, doing business as the Fortune Club, 22 Fremont, to change from a tavern operation to a package operation under a Tavern License be approved subject to this license not being transferred to another location. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Elwell, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor Mayor Gragson voting aye; noes, none. REZONING Z-26-59 The Commission considered the application of Thomas T. Beam for the reclassification of property generally described as the southwest corner of Bonanza Held in Abeyance and 25th Street from R-1 and R-3 to C-1. Denial had been recommended by the Planning Commission on the basis that this would be an act of spot zoning and would only serve to open the door for further spot zoning on the several existing vacant corner properties along 25th Street. There were two protests to this application at the Planning Commission hearing. Three prior applications for commercial zoning on 25th Street were previously denied. D. Francis Horsey, Attorney representing the applicant, spoke to the Commission in regard to this rezoning and traced briefly the three meetings of the Planning Commission at which this application was considered. He added the impression had been given at the last meeting that had this application been made for rezoning of the entire block it might have received favorable consideration. Mr. Horsey stated further that there was commercial zoning right across the street and that the two protestants resided over 600' from the property in question. The applicant, Thomas Beam, advised the Commission that in 1952 when this area was zoned R-3, it was not possible for him to develop his property, due to circumstances beyond his control. He was of the opinion it would not be practical to construct a dwelling on such a corner and mentioned the fact there were two major thoroughfares there and no gas station within a mile in either direction. He felt he had requested this rezoning in good faith and possibly this was the ultimate use for this property and he did not believe his application should necessarily be put aside until a complete design for further commercial development in this presently undeveloped block could be submitted. Commissioner Sharp moved the application of Thomas T. Beam for the reclassification of property generally described as the southwest corner of Bonanza and 25th Street from R-1 and R-3 to C-1, be held in abeyance to be discussed further at a meeting between the Planning Commission and the City Commission at 10:00 A.M., October 27, 1959. Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Elwell, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor Mayor Gragson voting aye; noes, none.
