Special meeting - January 5, 1967 Mrs. Hajdu moved for approval of the minutes as shown. Seconded by Mr. Sutliff and carried by unanimous voice vote. A. Zoning Commission December 28, 1966 The Chairman read Item V-A concerning the Commission's postponement of a public hearing on the proposed rezoning to Business from the Urban Renewal area out Tagura Road, pending meeting with ASHA officials. Chairman White personally felt that the Commission should not defer action on the rezoning for an extended period of time, since the demand for more Business property in the next construction season should not be curtailed. He felt that there is not enough Business area available within the project, and that there should be a choice of buying property outside of it, since there are so many restrictions on buying property in R-19, including very high prices. He stated that the Business area in Kodiak will berm split up if provisions are not made now to expand the core area. It was pointed out that the R-3 lots within the U.R. project cannot be rezoned without the consent of ASHA. .Mr. Sutliff felt that Business zoning should be limited to the U.R. area so that the disaster businesses can be rebuilt first, and he did not think that they should have to compete with outside businesses locating here. Mr. Vihite felt that the businesses trying to relocate on displacement loans, rather than disaster loans, are being penalized now, since the project land prices are so high, and the displacement loans are much more difficult to obtain. Mr. Barr felt that the creation of too much Busienss area may bring the project land area value down so much that those who paid high prices for it would be penalized. Mrs. Hajdu suggested asking the City Council for their opinion on the matter, and then possibly going ahead with the rezoning of the property adjoining the project. B.
