The Zoning Commission also found it necessary to have the technical portion of the Zoning Ordinance formulated before it could intelligently complete the zoning map and this portion of the Zoning Commission's work took more time than the study of the zones.

According to the Zoning Ordinance, this preliminary report must be made, but no City Council action is required at this time. The Zoning Commission proposes to continue its work in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Ordi- nance. Respectfully submitted, HUGO F. KUEHNE, Chairman, Zoning Commission. By: (Sgd) Orin E.
