to take concerning enforcement of ordinances relating to single family dwellings
being inhabited by several unrelated persons, ambiguous wording in ordinances,
strip rezoning and several other areas.
Commissioner Gardner explained his belief concerning frequent rezoning of commercial
areas, non-compliance of the landscaping ordinance and other concerns of the P&Z
commission's role in reporting to the Council and in suggesting ideas for Plan 2000.
Discussion by both groups centered on the responsibilities of the P&Z, especially
in interpreting ordinances and initiating changes in ordinances. The question of
a definition of strip zoning was raised. No conclusion was reached.
Councilman Dozier asked that another joint meeting be held to discuss some of
the solutions to the problems raised today.
