EVANS Herald Staff Writer T After two months of study, an ' ordinance creating a research and . business park zone within Provo city was approved Wednesday by I the Provo Planning Commission. The matter will appear before the Provo Municipal Council June 26. '. . The city began drafting the ordi-- ; nance following an application by Riverfront Partnership to construct " a research park in Provo's river-- " bottoms area. The council asked the commission to draft such an ordinance in early April. The matter was then continuted . last month. Richard Secrist, Community De velopment assistant director, said the ordinance has higher restrictions than commercial and manufacturing zones in the city. This was done so a reasarch park could be integrated into a residential area, he said. "We found (no other research and business park ordinances) that were as restrictive as what we are proposing here," he said. The ordinance sets a minimum of 20 acres for a research and business park. Dave Gardner, representative of Riverfront Partnership, said the city should have a larger acreage Herald Staff Writer Provo city employees produce more with lower numbers of workof comparable size and should receive above average salaries, according to a city employee representative.
