zoning . Leon Boughton spoke on behalf of the Cornerstone group
home / halfway house . He spoke of the impact it would have for
the city as well as for the people who would be housed in the
home as well as the benefits it could provide for the businesses
in this program.

Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend this agenda item to
the City Council without a Public Hearing . By having a Public
Hearing the public and surrounding businesses would be able to
give their opinions and views on this matter . After that time the

recommendation to the City Council .
