Garnett stating that his client, Edith .Henderson, would like to make a formal application for a conditional use permit for two trailers to be placed on Tract A, Lots 27-31, Block 3, Radar Subdivision, which is zoned light industrial. Mrs. Henderson further requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission consider recommending a change in the Zoning Ordinance 21.76.180 B.l, and 2. because this ordinance descriminates against property owners that live west of Main Street and the ordinance has no valid use in commercial and industrial zoned property. After much discussion, the Commission asked that the Administration advise Mr. Garnett and Mrs. Henderson that the Commission cannot consider an application for a Conditional Use Permit on .said property because trailers are specifically prohibited in that area by the current zoning laws. Also, if Mrs. Henderson chooses, she can make a formal petition for a change in the zoning ordinance. 8. OTHER BUSINESS A.
