There was a lengthy discussion regarding the southerly boundary line of the central business district. Moved by Dean Ellis, seconded by Mrs. Clifford Hill, that the southerly boundary line be placed at Nettleton Avenue. After discussion, motion withdrawn with the consent of the second.
Moved by Al Hendrix that the southerly line of the central business district be placed at Oak Avenue and that the ordinance be amended to require consideration of this boundary line after a six month period from the passage of the ordinance. This motion did not receive a second and was withdrawn by Hendrix.
Moved by Caleb Watson, seconded by Dean Ellis, and carried, that the present Zoning Maps be amended to delete from C-3 all areas bounded by Oak, Union, Elm, and Church and to substitute, therefore, a C-3 area bounded by Oak, Union, Cherry, and Church.
