These two re-quirenients re-quirenients aiv of oo,ual importance. The city's protection and regulation of them must be made for economic, and social reasons. ' ' Tho report enuniera'os tho three sorts of districts which should be established in order to make adequate provision and. assure ample protection for both resiliences and industrial undertakings. These n; "Use," "Height'' and "Area" districts. The first of these, says the report, is necessary to prevent the scattering and intrusion of inappropriate inap-propriate and destructive uses of buildings build-ings and property, which make uncertain uncer-tain and decrease property values. "Height" districts would call for regulations regarding the height of structures so as to maintain proper light, find air for economic reasons. Another An-other aim of height regulations is to get a more een and less scattered form of development. Height and use regulations regu-lations are inseparable, for both aim to secure the same general ends of economic stability of deelopnvjnt, says the report. Area Districts. Explained. The area distriets are necessary, particularly par-ticularly for the protection of residential residen-tial sections, against the intrusions of und"strai'ie industrial or business plauts which would tend to work harm to tl.o social, sanitary and healthful conditions considered must essential in a district of homes, the report shows. Authority for the establishment of zones is quoted. by the committee report re-port from similar action upheld by the L'nited States supr.'.me court, the supreme su-preme court of California and by other courts of the country where the question ques-tion lias come up for 1,-gal adjudienl ion. In referring to the possibility of changing au ordinance once adopted the committ' report says: "A .one ordinance cannot bo a rigid or fixed thing. Jt should be elastic and reasonably easy to amend ar'ter proper eonsuit.ation of the property owners in the neighborhood affected. At present without a zone ordiiiame any new purchaser may go into a district dis-trict of fine investment!) and get a permit, without warning, to erect a building (as long as it is safely constructed) con-structed) for a use that will absolutely kill the rental returns and property values adjoining. With a zone ordinance ordi-nance no such ?-'niit. can be granted until the neighborhood has been notified noti-fied and consulted.. If a substantia! majority of the neighborhood is then ready for the change and desires it, the ordinance can be ameudod." Would Protect Homes. Mr. Tolland's proposed ordinance would establish the entire area of Halt Lake as an exclusive residence district vwth ih." exception of st reified industrial indus-trial r.ud tracknee districts. It provides pro-vides further that "it, shall bo unlawful unlaw-ful for any person, firm or corporation to erect, construct, establish, maintain, operate or carry cn within the residence resi-dence district any packing house, tannery, tan-nery, tannery, rendery, bone factory, slaughter house, soap factory, livery stable, blacksmith shop, planning mill, eoul yard, stone crusher, roller mill, machine shop, carpet-cleaning establishment, establish-ment, ie.o factory, lumber -yard or other building, business, factory or industry in-dustry which may interfere with tiie safe, healthful and comfortable use of property for residence purposes. I No permit for switch tracks for freight hauling would be granted under the pro isions of the ordinance. Public Pub-lic garages would be k.'pt more than ih'O feet away from .any hospital, school or church in the residence district; no garage would lie .permitted on a block where more than two-thirds of the buildings on both sides of the strvt are us. d exclusively for residential purposes without, securing the written consent, of a majority of the property owners. 1 The following terirtorv on the wesf side of the city would Ire set apart as trackage distri.-t No. 1: West District Defined.
