BOOK 63 N,U I57 Chairman Scurlock did not feel this is any different than strip zoning, and Commissioner Lyons agreed. Discussion ensued re property on an arterial that does not lend itself to residential. Commissioner Lyons believed we have some pretty residential along SR 60, but Commissioner Bird felt the office buildings that have been remodeled along SR 60 are much more attractive than the rundown homes that were there. Chairman Scurlock brought up the possibility of someone with a large tract of land just spinning off a small piece for this purpose. He envisioned one strip the length of U.S.1 and SR 60 with small office type facilities, and he did not agree with the concept that you cannot have residential development along a highway, especially as we already have some nice ones on U.S.1. Commissioner Wodtke brought up the list of activities allowed in the proposed zone, noting that it specifies profes- sional people and it appears a retail drapery shop would not be allowed but a decorator would. Chairman Scurlock discussed occupational licenses as a way to track this. Commissioner Bowman felt the main issue is what do we need most - more professional offices or more multi family rental units. Administrator Wright agreed there is a strong deficit of multi family rental units, but land is so high in this county, you can't develop -low cost multi family. Commissioner Bowman noted that there is multi family on 17th Street right across from where this is proposed. Administrator Wright asked if the Board is saying they don't want anything like what is being proposed. Carolyn Eggert, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commis- sion, advised that in the workshop it was felt this was needed.
