trary that:
1. Food'co-ops are a recent phenomenon in cities, and serve a very
real need for some families who are willing to spend a good deal of time and
effort to make them a success. They offer some individual families an oppor-
j tunity to join together. to purchase sorie of their groceries and get the quality
I

2. Church uses have changed and increased over .the years. It makes!
i
� sense for some of the churches which are large and roomy to try to use some of
their space during the week as well as Sunday., as long as there are provisions
i
1-for protecting the community,
3. That taking into consideration existing conditions which would
be affected by amending the Zoning Ordinance to designate food cooperatives
1j as special uses in certain zoning districts would not adversely affect prop-
( ,
q erty values in.such zoning districts, nor would such designation adversely
iif
t affect building development Woe disadvantageous to the entire City.

4. That the uses of designated structures for food cooperatives
may be in keeping with the established use of said property and would be re-
viewable upon application for such a special use in each individual case.
5. That it is in the public interest to cesignate food coopera-
tives as special uses in certain zoning districts and is, In fact, required
for the public good.
