She also stated that she hoped to clear up the property, paint the outside, put some plantings on the south side and tear down the old garage on the property. The Commission wanted to know why this was not a rezoning rather than an amendment to the zoning code in the B-l zoning district. It was indicated that Mr. Dahlgren recommended this method of land use for the property.
