The Mayor remarked that he would much rather see a variance granted so as to control the type of business which could be operated at the location in question than consent to a rezoning of the particular parcel of land, after which any type of business might be conducted thereon, including pool rooms. He asked the City Attorney if the Council might grant a restricted variance pursuant to the rezoning application now under considera- tion. The City Attorney stated that the R. J. McCray application is for rezoning, which is somewhat different than a variance and he doubted if the granting of a variance under the present applica- tion would be proper.
