Benton officials plan a study by the planning commission to assess restricting zoning to B3 and B4 categories. Councilman Bob Tedrow cited targeted areas where insurance offices might be allowed while service stations or welders shops could be restricted. The council denied rezoning five lots in the R. L. Hayes Addition and rejected Orchard View Addition parcel changes near East Main Street and the Franklin County fairgrounds.
