Jun~...B- 1~76 City Council for consideration as part of the City's overall comprehensive plan. (3) That the Planning Commission be requested to study the need for a special port zoning classification; and that this study be coordinated with the Portsmouth Port and Industrial Commission in order to develop guidelines for administering future port or port-related development. (4) The City Council adopt a resolution requesting the Portsmouth Port and Industrial Commission to develop a program of industrial development for the Pinners Point area with assistance from the Industrial Development Authority, the Planning Commission, and the Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce. The program would be designed for the area surrounding the port as outlined in the consultant's report and recommendations presented to City Council for consideration upon completion. The City Council adopt a resolution requesting the Virginia Port Authority to develop the Portsmouth port as rapidly as possible in concert with private enterprise and the Portsmouth Port and Industrial Commission. The only other recommendation of significance which appeared in the report I have already tkken the liberty to include on this agenda. This recommendation concerned the City's divesting itself of the land now owned within the port area and the resolution before you will accomplish this recommendation. It is my recommendation that the points outlined above be adopted officially by the City Council in order that we may place the Cresap, McCormick ~ Paget study in a working status as soon as possible. In my opinion, the Portsmouth Marine Terminal is one of the outstanding assets in the City of Portsmouth and the development of satellite or support industry to the port should be explored to the fullest extent possible. The above recommenda- tions will provide the necessary vehicles to put into motion plans for the future development of the Pinners Point area." ~go~s~dena~xO~"af::a. re~olutl~n auth~e.~%n~th~%t~:~naga~tO:t~ansfer all Cxty~owned lots in the Port~smaut-kM~rine Terminal bounded by Southern Avenue on the south, Hill Avenue on the west, Pinners Avenue on the mozth, and Pinners Point Seage Treatment Plant on the east to Portsmouth Port and Industrial Commission. Based on the report submitted by the consulting firm of Cresap, McCormic ~ Pagett, it is my recommendation that all ~ity-owned lots Within the area designated Portsmouth Marine Termi- nal be transferred to PPIC for $1,000 pMr lot. It is estimated that there are approximately 101 lots within the defined area now owned by the City available for transfer to PPIC.
