Rezone to C-2 area on north side of Broadway between Hilyard and Alder, Campbell - The Planning Commission. recommended rezoning the area from M-2 to allow construction of a motel on the condition that the Building Depart- ment is instructed to issue no building permits for that property until the Planning Commission is informed and agreement reached between the City and Mr. Campbell with regard to phasing out of the existing ice plant. The Manager reviewed the history of this rezoning request and said approval would make the ice plant a non-conforming use and prohibit the issuance of any build- ing permit for that property. He said no commitment has been made relative to a time limit on the operation of the ice plant, but the Planning Commission feels a C-2 zone is better from the City's standpoint.
