Brent Birtcher, project director, estimates West Valley will receive about $600,000 this year in CD funds.

Before City Planners low-re- ) nt - Jackson, Hercules Cases Back Again WEST VALLEY. Doug Jackson back before the City Planning Commission on Tuesday. So, too, will be the proposed Hercules overpressure zone ordinance. Planners will consider both matters at their 9 a.m. meeting. The meeting was moved up from Jan. 13 when City Manager John Newman changed the commissions meeting schedule to the first and third Tuesdays of the month (rather than the second and fourth Thursdays), a Planning Department employe noted. The change is designed to speed up the approval process that entails taking many Planning Commission decisions to the City Council for final approval, the employe added. Doug Jackson will be back before the Planning Commission for a third time Tuesday. Two other times he was turned down, e albeit by margins both to make the part-tim- e his in bid times, meat cutting business at his Redwood residence (2545 Chatham Road) a legal use. It was returned to the commission again when attorneys for Jackson and the city agreed that the board technically violated the states open meetings law by not g advertising its usual on the day of the hearing. That premeeting has been advertised for 8 will be one-vot- a.m. Tuesday. The overpressure zone ordinance was discussed slightly more than a month ago, at which time developers with property in the area around the explosives plant requested more time to study the proposal in depth. They were concerned about what kind of effect it would have on development there. The overpressure zone refers to areas around the plant where damage could be expected if an accident occurred at the plant. In other matters, the commission will consider conditional use applications by: - Ron Case for an asphalt plant, contractors storage and a rental operation at 6800 W. 2300 South ; Joyce Bailey for child care in her home at 3615 W. 3965 South; -- -- and - Barbara Anderson for a beauty salon in the basement of her home at 3230 W. 4200 South.
