<br /> "At its regular monthly meeting on August S, 1969, the City Planning Commission reviewed the zoning
<br /> currently applied to two sections of newly reconstructed Portsmouth Boulevard.
<br />
<br /> First, with respect to the area between City Park Avenue and Shea Street (and the block to the south
<br /> extending to Dunedin Road and Cherokee Park Apartments), the Planning Commission, after detailed study, re-
<br /> solved to accept the current zoning pattern as adequate.
<br />
<br /> Second, the Planning Commission again reviewed the intersection of Portsmouth Boulevard and Hodges Ferry
<br /> Road, laying special emphasis on the southwest corner which consists of a vacant ten acre lot.
<br />
<br /> The Planning Commission instructed its Director to prepare a report on the history of zoning on this corner
<br />since the land came into the City of Portsmouth on January 1, 1960. Attached hereto is the report.
