To Honorable Mayor and City Council : The Zoning Commission ans Adjustment 19, 1970 with Chairman J D McCulloug h E A Blanchard, Dean Cox and T C Hous e being absent due to ilness. Stephenville, Texas February 20, 1970 Board met on February presiding and members present. 0 V King Mr 0 W Stanford submitted a letter requesting change of Zoning of his property located in Block 4 Crow Styles addition. This property is now Zoned as residence 2, and the request is to change to business 2 in order that mobile homes may be installed on said property. The Board deeted the request reasonable in that the property East of this is Zoned industrial, and Westhiis prBsently Zoned business 2, and that a change of zoning would not devaluate the surrounding property. Notice of meeting was advertised in Sunday paper of February 19, 1970, and Mr Stanford was the only one appearing. There were no objections. All Members present and voting unanimously recomend change of Zoning from residence 2 to business 2 of property as follows beginning on North Paddock street at present business 2 zone line then South to'West Park street, then East to North Race Avenue, then North to Hubert Street, then West in straight line with Hubert street to place of beginning. Mrs W E Mann, Pastor of Gospel of Faith Church located at 255 North Reta street applied to Building Inspector, Rex H Cates for a permit to install 2 mobile homes on the property owned by the Church, one as a Parsonage and other as Custodian quarters. The request was in violation of Zoning; therefore a`permit was denied. This decision was appealed to the Zoning Commission and Adjustment Board. The Board considered the fact that the Church building is located on front of the lot and to locate one mobile home of the North part of lot, and the other on the Southeast part of lot would help the Church although this does not conform to Zoning Ordi- nance, would not devaluate the surrounding property. J D McCullough, Dean Cox and T C House personally contacted the property owners in immediate area and no objections were offered. The Board unanimously recomend that Building Inspector be author- ized to issue a non- conforming permit to install said 2 mobile homes as shown on original drawing with permit application ; provided all necessary sanitary requirements are met.
