City Zoners Deny Move For Army Reserve Center Here
The City Zoning Commission urged the City Council to deny rezoning a seven acre area near North Twenty fifth Street and rand Avenue for an Army Reserve Training Center with a $184000 cost. The denial was unanimously recommended by seven of the eleven commissioners amid protests from residents. The land, owned by the American Legion, would shift from Class A residential to Class B for a multi unit setup. City Attorney David Stuart warned the ordinance could be changed to permit such centers in any residential zone, prompting swift action. The council may act Monday as the matter heads there, with a possible relocation to another Iowa community if a suitable site cannot be found. Funds earmarked for Council Bluffs would likely support a different building of similar size and strength elsewhere in the state.
