re: Question in 12/27/77 minutes
Gentlemen:
An application for a change of zoning and an application for a
use permitted al review pertaining to the same property could be
." considered at the same hearing. The notice should be separate since
notice requirements differ between the two applications. The zoning
ordinance requires a fee for each type of application and this would
apply even though the requisite information and requests were combined
in one document. Better practice, for the purpose of the City maintain—
ing clear records, would be to require separate application forms.
Very t t uly yours,
