Loading space provisions of the city zoning ordinance are expected to be removed if a new zoning ordinance submitted by Reno Councilman Russell Mills is passed. Mills' ordinance as one of numerous items handled by councilmen Monday night.

Mills' ordinance was read by title only at the reeular meeting of the council Monday night, but he said before the meeting that he felt requirements of the present ordinance are too stiff in downtown Reno. The present law requires new commercial buildings to provide sufficient space off alleys so that trucks may load and unload without interfering with alley traffic. The matter has recently been the subject of a major conflict within the council in connection with a new building being erected at First and Sierra streets by the Yori Land and Livestock Co. for the J. C.

Penney Co. The builders protested that the alley setback would reduce store space, and were granted a variance to permit loading and unloading on First street. Mills said downtown property is so expensive that requiring the setback would work unnecessary hardships on people who wished to erect buildings on narrow lots.
