<br />process to bring the zoning classifications to their latest use. He indicated this
<br />rezoning was initiated by Area Plan, and they worked with the Board of the West
<br />Washington- Chapin Renewal Project, Inc. Robert Sante, Area Plan, gave the Staff
<br />Report. He indicted much of the Area has been zoned industrial and commercial,
