OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY <br />OPINION NO. 7~-20 <br />MARCH 6, 1973 <br />SUBJECT: Proposed recreational use in a light <br />industrial zone. <br />REQUESTED BY: Planning Director <br />OPINION BY: James A.

If not, then <br />a variance would be required to allow the proposed re- <br />creational uses in an M-1 zone. However, it appears that <br />41 <br />
