Zoning Board Actions and Venice City Developments
The Zoning Board of Adjustment reviewed rezoning requests for Rialto Shopping Center from residence zones to business 1 but action was limited. A second request from residence 3 to business 1 was not approved. The board favored a variance for a medical building. A proposed amendment to zoning ordinances was heard. The mayor urged removal of an old Chamber of Commerce building at U S 41 and East Venice Avenue. The Venice Beach Development Committee gained two new members, and the mayor was authorized to discuss water rate increases with the U S Housing and Home Financing Agency. Ordinance 353, simplifying area descriptions, passed first reading.
