nnt I;now whether or not they had paid the inciustrlal ~~r cc~mmercial race, but he d~d not
thtnk this is as great a use as r~any other indusirial users in the srea,
Commissioner Tolar stated it was his opinion that most of the industrial uscrs had paid
far in excess with s~les tax and other cost henefits to the Ctty than the amc~unt of
traffic thts business adds to the area, which probably pays only S4pno a year total.
Flayd Farano stated that fs a very sensicive issue pnd it is their positlon that cost
beneftts to the Ctty are not valid criteria for z~ning but CommissionPr Tolar felt it is a
valid criteria in relatianshi~ to lndustrial versus comr~ercial and Comrnissioner Bushore
