MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 23, 1993 AMENDMENT TO The Mayor opened the public hearing to consider the PUD amendment to PUD to allow for the expansion of an R& S existing building as well as allow a change in the AUTOMOTIVE current parking plan for the property at 38 Woodlyn Avenue as requested by R& S Automotive. The Mayor pointed out that the Planning Commission has recommended concept approval at this time.
