February 14 at 7:45 p.m. in Council Chambers was approved for this purpose by the Council. The present ordinance states that all annexed properties pro-perties will be automatically zoned R-l-A, until the Council Coun-cil can obtain recommeda-tions recommeda-tions for another zone change. The proposed change would allow annexed property pro-perty to be brought in under any zone, providing the Council Coun-cil received proper recommendations recom-mendations from the Planning Plan-ning Commission or other body. The change would essentially essen-tially eliminate one step in the process of finding the proper zone for a parcel of annexed land. Taking the oath of office for Orem City Councilmen and Mayor were Gareth Seastrand, Earl Farn worth and incumbent incum-bent James Mangum.

Basically the measure will restrict re-strict multiple units by only allowing their construction in Planned Unit Developments, which fall under strict open space and density requirements. All multiple units will be eliminated from C-2 and C-3 zones and will be allowed only in R-l-B, R-2 and R-3 zones in the City. Following the review of Orem's pornography and obscenity ordinance ordin-ance by City legal staff, the Council approved an amendment which puts the ordinance in line with State statutes already ruled constitutional by Utah's Supreme Court, Councilman Gareth Seastrand moved to accept the item in its entirety except for one paragraph para-graph which would have allowed the distribution of poronographic materials to children through their parents. The measure was also designed to do away with the Decency Commission, but Councilmen said they felt this to be an important impor-tant part of citizen input.
