Rezoning of various areas in
Lititz which would exclude gas­oline
service stations in those
areas was recommended by the
Lititz Planning Commission at
its meeting Tuesday, night in
the Borough offices.
The portion of the meeting
devoted to this matter was ob­served
as a public hearing;
however, no objections were
voiced, it was said.
Specifically, the commission
recommended that the first
first block in ' the downtown
area oi East Main Street he
rezoned- “commercial,” which
would exclude gas service sta­tions,
and that other areas in
the borough now zoned “neigh­borhood
. business districts,”
also be rezoned “Commercial,”
This would include an area
on North NeW Street, two oth­er
potential areas in the Hbgaii
development and Sutter Vil­lage,
and a new area east of
South Broad Street along pro­posed
South Linden Street,
Another phase of the recom­mendations
calls for the area
along South Broad 'Street cur­rently
z o n e d “general busi­ness,”
to remain the same,
which includes gas stations.
Also, the area along East-
Main Street in the vicinity of
Fiy’s sales garage, about a
half a block, would be rezoned
from “neighborhood” to. “gen­eral
.business,” which would
permit gas stations.
The commission is making a
continuing study of the zoning
ordinance in general until- ad­ditional
recommendations are
made at a later date.
Elect Craig
The group reorganized Tues­day
night electing Dennis Craig
chairman, replacing Garth Bec­ker
who is moving out of the

Asks Ue/omng
Phares M. Eeenroad appear­ed
at the meeting ■ to-request
that the Frank Ford property
at 353 E. Main Street be re-zoned
from “Residential 2” to
“Commercial.” This would per­mit
him to relocate his .Sub
shop there from 69 E. Main
St, He submitted a request
signed by 15 property, owners
in the a r e a who approved
his desire and, oh the basis of
this, the Planning Commission
recommended that it be re­zoned.
A plan was submitted of: the
area in-which John and Henry
Gibbel plan to erect a 26-unit
apartment complex, concerning
the construction of a new por­tion
of North Walnut St. This
was approved. About 190 feet
are completed, and they must
acid 280 feet.-
My lin Messick presented a
sketch plan for a proposed
apartment, complex in the Lib-ramont
development. The com­mission
took no action, since
the land is still in Warwick
township, although Messick
plans to annex it to the bor­ough.
