Upon annexation to the city it automatically was zoned "R-2 Single Family Residence District," even though the property had been in use as a commercial tavern for approximately thirty years. Operating as a legal non -conforming use would pro- hibit the owner of the property to expand the building, and if damaged or des- troyed more than 50% would prohibit the owner from repairing or rebuilding the present structure. There are single family residences to the north, south, and west and the property to the east is the vacant farm land the nature of the neigh- borhood would not be changed by this "spot zoning." It is not our intention to deprive the property owner of the rights to which he has been entitled ,to over the course of many years at this location. We, your Committee on Municipal Development therefore recommend that the petition for rezoning "C-2 Commercial District" be granted as requested and that the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals be over -ruled."
