They have not only brought alwut great changes In the growth and development of our communities but have brought changes in our liv-ing habits. Planning and zoning whether applied to a city, a metropolitan county, or rural a.ea, has as its basis the use of the land under consideration. This covers land uses classified as industrial, commercial, residential, public and semi-public, agricultural and the like. For a clear analysis and explanation of planning and zoning, the public is invited to hear Mr.

Wood discuss an earea of commun ity development of vital concern to every person in this great area. Mr. Wood will not only review the many ways In which land is developed and the activities thereon controlled, but in all probability will have something to say about traffic, and parking. One of the great problems confronting our communities has been the effect of the automobile on the services performed by the central busbies districts, and while the full answer to parking is beyond the scope of zoning, the location of parking facilities a use of land, is subject zoning regulations and a comprehensive plan, No pat solution has been worked out for this perplexing problem. Previous federation speakers in reviewing the subject of parking have indicated that the ap proach lies in one or more of the following directions: 1.
