Sunset Boulevard zoning clash prompts industrial rezoning bid
Controversy erupts over a second petition to rezone property along Sunset Boulevard east of Scatterfield Road. Executed estate holder Joseph Waymire seeks to change from R-2 to industrial for a showroom near General Motors sites. Attorney Davisson cites area as nonresidential and already trafficked, while residents warn of traffic and highway access issues. The planning commission recommends approval with no extra access onto 109, and other zoning actions include church parking lot approval, auto sales, and car wash rezoning requests, plus a vacation of Little John Street and Meadowbrook Manor plot action date set.

The women’s commission met with human relations board and legal officials to discuss jurisdiction, with suggestions to ensure equal representation and to create an investigator post for sex discrimination complaints.
