The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: "ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AUSTIN, TEXAS ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION Applicant: I. II. III. Eulalia Sanchez. Referred to the Board by the City Council on November 12, 1948 Property affected: Lot 10, Block 2, Riverside Addition, Outlot 36, Division "0", being located at the southwest corner of East 1st and Chicon Streets and locally known as 1811 East 1st street. To be changed: From: "C" Commercial District and Second Height and Area District. To: #C-1" Commercial District and Second Height and Area District. IV. Considered by the Board on: January 18, 1949. V. Parties appearing: For: None (No hearing called) Against: None VI. Action of the Board: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Change not recommended. 31 For the following reasons: 1. This application is for a change of zoning on a lot on which a similar change was requested and recommended against by the Board on March 23, 1948, and on which no final action was taken by the City Council. 2. The Board delayed action on the new request until after the passage of an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance regulating "C-l" and "C-2" Commercial uses and considered the application at a meeting on January 18, 1949. 3. The Board still feels that it is unwise to make this change for the reasons contained in the previous recommendation as listed below: (1) The applicant affirms that he is requesting a change of zoning on his property to permit the sale of beer in a restaurant which will be established here if the zone is changed. (2) Strenuous opposition was expressed to this change on the grounds that there is a church located one block south and members attending services use a bus stop directly in front of this property, and that children pass this location going to and from school in the neighborhood, and on the further grounds that there is no need for this type of use in the neighborhood already developed with numerous homes which would be adversely affected by the change, and that the heavy traffic on East 1st Street would be increased by this business because of narrow driveways on the property. (3) The Board deemed that this change should not be made in view of the objections expressed and the fact that this would create a spot zone for the benefit of one property owner and not in response to any public demand or necessity. Chairman # (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Councilman Long moved that a public hearing on the above application for change in zoning be called for February 10, 1949, at 11:00 A.

Messers Giesecke, Kuehne and Brooks, architects on the Cerebral Palsy Center, advised that Mr. B. L. McGee agreed to reduce his bid by $100.00, such amount to be his contribution to his project, thus making the total amount of his bid $13,131.51.
