During the hectic days-of World War II an emergency
s.-tration existed in Orange w hich caused the city govern-
ment more or less to let the bars down and »!!ow anybody
to hniild anythin? anywhere. That wasn't completely true
b it it pretty nr ich so1 and nothing could be done about
v without danger of hamperng the war effort.
After the war was over the municipal q^verr merit set
r»bot* undoing as much of the damage as possible and at
tht same time allowing for orderly future growth of the
C)*V
ft was a difficult task and months were spent in
thought and discussion before the existing zoning ordi-
nance was drawn up.
Most of this thinking and work was done by the zon-
ifig board, an unpaid body of citizens appointed bv the city
eourriL j
Members of thk earlier zoning board had no way of
forceilirg the futtire and so had to draw up a plan based
■ in the s: tub* ion asJt existed then with a reasonable allow-
ance for fut.’re growth. Their nroposal. as finally adopted
foe city commissioner^. ct-flected that situation and. of
c” >rse. was accepted in the light of the knowledge that
changing rfrepn-stances could result in amendments later.
Circumstance.; have changed—vastly so- and the time
for amendment h here. . •’,;**
Aga-,n the zoning board, still with some members who
helped do the re-zoning job the first time, has put months
of thought end work into a oian. _ *
The'board could not and did not come up with some-
thing which is satisfactory to everybody. Anti, some of the
amendment- to the original ordinance definitely are open
10 debate, pa^icularlv since there has as yet been no ex-
nLv'ition to 'he public as to why this or that was done.
Th;s much is certain: Some changes in zoning have to
l< made if the city’s growth continues and it falls the lot
of the zoning board lo suggest these change* which, of
course, arc sub e.n to approval or d'sappmval bv the com-
mission.
The pre-ent pbn will be fullv aired in a public hear-
t's <m Nov. 7 and rerhans some of the missing explanations
v !i te frrthccming af that time.
If won't b- Do- sible even now to'anticipate all of the
eitv- future zoning needs and probablv not more than an-
’*th — hslf do-en years will e’apse before further changes
will have to be made
It is passible, however, to be reasonably certain that
'he -on;ng or iinenc1 as amended this time won’t restrict
•>e rnmimHv’i progress, particularly its need for ad-
<Ht%nal retail busmes-es and for residential areas where a
home ‘xeker can build or buv without fear of later finding
hims- lf next *0 a noxious indrs’rial operation of some sort.
