Fl)NDS FROM CITY ASKED
X '
Appointment by the Ma.ror of.a ton.
Ine commission as authorized'!? the nf w
charter was advocated ...today by the.
ni.iniMnnl Research Bureau.
"It will not tako n silver-tongued
efator," a bureau bulletin stated, "to
convince tho avoraso citizen that ho
Trill DO Dcnemcu uy tisui"V" iibu

ngo from being built across tho street
from his home, and which will make- bis
work more oKrccablc on the ground floor
of a downtown office building, because
the light anu air nro not cm oil Dy
skyscrapers across we street.
"Tuo exercise by tho city of control
over building operations In the matter
of regulating tho location, size and use
of buildings Is cottmonly, but unfor
tunately, spoken of as zoning. Uecauso
of, tho many activities referred to at
ronlpg, It is particularly necessary that
the public be fully Informed ns to its
moaning in this instance.
"A zoning commission was appointed
In lOiO and made a report early In
November, 1010, In the form of n pro
posed zoning ordinance. This provided
for separate regulations nf thn ut m
which a building could be put, of the
area o lot which could be covered, and
of tho height to which it could bo
erected, "For tho purposo ot defining
theso regulations, there were outlined
inree groups ot aisiricts, use, area nnd
height district, each group covering
the cntlro, city area.
'.'New buildings for It was not pro
posed to mako the regulations retro
active would bo reeulatcd. by theso
three sets of maps. Under tho use reg
illations thero are proposed four classes
ot districts: Residential, commercial,
industrial and unrestricted districts.
Under tho area regulations there are
live classes, In which the area of the
lot that may be covered by the build
ing varies progressively from 30 to 0."
per cent, xno neigtit districts are also
five in number. In them the permitted
building height varies from one to three
times tho street width, subject to a
maximum height limit, and with an ad
ditional allowance if the building Is set
back from the.8trect line.
"Unquestionably all of our citizens
are intcrVsted In knowing in what
classes ot use, area and height dis
tricts their property will be plnccd.
Hence the proposed ordinance should
be given wldo publicity, and separate
nubile hcarlr.es should be held on the
proposed regulations for each nection of
the city. . This Important work should
be undertaken by tho city government.
The zoning commission that drafted the
proposed zoning ordinance expired with
the old charter, but fortunately the new
charter authorizes the Mayor to appoint
H zoning commission. A new com
mission should bo appointed and Coun
cil should grant the moderate sum need
ed to carry on a campaign of information."
