Kilgore to rezone property described as follows: Beginning at a point on the northern right-of~way line .of Randolph Street approximately 217 feet northeast of its intersection with Deep Creek Boulevard; thence north approximately 125 feet; thence west approximately 25 feet; thence north approximately 80 feet to the southern right-of-way line of Deep Creek Boulevard; thence northeast along said line approximately 245 feet to the rear lot lin~ of properties fronting on Des Moines Avenue; thence south along said line approximately 565 feet to the northern right-of-way line of Randolph Street; thence southwest along said line approximately 25 feet; thence north approximately 125 feet to a rear lot line; thence southwest along said line approximately 75 feet thence south approximately 125 feet to the northern right-of-way line of Randolph Street; thence~southwest along said line approximately 50 feet to the point of origin; from Residential R-60 to Industrial ~e Commission resolved to recommend denial of this application on grounds of spot zoning and improper land use. In 1965, the Commission determined that it would, as a matter of general policy, loo~ with favor on industrial development west of Deep Creek Boulevard between the railroad track and Interstate 264 adjacent to the existing cemetery. Industrial development east~of Deep Creek Boulevard was not then and is not now looked upon with favor by the City Planning Commission.

The Commission resolved to recommend disapproval in that this proposal is contrary to the overall, long-range land use plan for newly constructed Portsmouth Boulevard. The Commission notes that two corners of the Portsmouth Boulevard-Elmhurst Lane intersection have been zoned commercial for two years without attracting any new business. The Commission finds no need for an additional gasoline service station in this area and senses that neighborhodd residents are not in sympathy with possible intensive cormmercial highway development which might be attracted. Conversely, the Commission feels that neighborhood shopping potential has been more than accommodated in existiBg C-1 zoned areas nearby.
