BOARD GRANTS NEW HEARING ON ZONING Arlington Commission to Re- consider Districting of Two Town Areas. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON HOUSE, Va, November 16.—The re- quest of the civic associations of Vir- ginia Highlands and Aurora Hills for & new hearing on the tentative zoning of their sections was granted last night by the Arlington County zoning com- mission. In announcing that the commission ro;xld select a date for another hear- ng, number of changes suggested at the recent meeting at the Hume School are being given consideration. “The com- mission realizes,” he said, “that there| are unusual conditions existing with re- spect to the zoning of that particular section.” The time and place of the meeting will be announced within the next few days. Protest Industrial Area. Many citizens of Jefferson district are protesting the action of the com- mission in ectablishing a small “heavy industrial” area at South Washington and are anxious to have another op- portunity to explain their objections to the commission before the tentative ordinance is submitted to the board of county supervisors. Preceding the public hearing last night the commission approved a per- mit for the erection of a new main auditorium by the Clarendon Methodist flmynl Church. The new building 1 adjoin the present Sunday school room and will cost approximately $70,000, it was said by Harry Shepherd, chairman_of the building committee. ‘The installation of an organ will bring the price to approximately $85,000. With the completion of the new buila- ing the church will have an invest- ment of approximately $146,000, Shep- herd said. It was pointed out that the com- mission is opposed to the advertising of any particular business ,)rov:rty in the county on the strength of the tenta- tive zoning done by the commission. It is with a view to making many noulble changes that the commission holding public hearings, Gosnell stated, and it is certain that there will be many made before the ordinance is put into effect.
