entirely So said Councilman Russell Mills at Tuesday lengthy meeting of the Regional Planning Commission which was called to give preliminary consideration to the proposed new zoning regulations for Reno The matter came up during a discussion of the pro posed abolition of zone 4 an area which currently covers a good sized area or aownrown Reno from Second St south to about Court St Raymond Smith regional planner emphasized that the pro posed abolition of 4 is not to open the area to gambling He also stressed that zoning may not regulate gambling but may onlyinclude it as a permissive use within a land use area Superfluous Zone At present 4 is a superfluous zone It permits the same com mercial uses as zone 2 its only great difference is that it specif ically rules against gambling Such a specific regulation is not within the province of zoning which must be comprehensive Mr Smith pointed out that a re cent supreme court ruling stated exactly this Regulations are made by an administrative body (in Reno by the city council) and do not come within the scope of zoning Zone 2 provides a commer cial area without gaming Mr Smith noted Zone 3 (essen tially the downtown district north of Second St) provides a commercial area with gaming as one of the permissiveruses 3 is the only zone in Reno that does permit gaming The question considered by the planners was whether to convert the superfluous 4 area to 2 or 3 They were wholly in fa vor of converting it to 2 which would leave it Unlimited Mr Mills then remarked that this make any differ ence that the council intended to remove gaming as a permis sive use from any and all zones in the city The city council would decide where gaming was to be permitted he added This caused considerable con sternation on the part of theplanners Mr Smith remarked that such action would actually leave gam bling a possibility in any zone in the city there being no zone to which it was confined as a per missive use E' A erris board of adjust ment member remarked that he would be much against the coun taking gaming entirely out of zoning Opens Way to make deals when got a law and you can when you he stressed adding should be con trolled by law and not by a board of six Eddie Aldaz former planning commission chairman said that he was of the same opinion and would be against taking gam bling out of the single zone to which it is confined at present Mr Mills simply reiterated that if the planning commission did not take the word gam (or gaming) out of the zoning ordinance the city coun cil would George Probasco Board of Adjustment chairman remarked that he believed the current 3 zone was in its entirety too large for gambling and sug gested that perhaps a smaller zone within 3 could be set up where gambling was permitted Decision Made Mr Mills said the council has already decided where gambling is to go and that with the ex ception of hotels it would be a small section of the downtown area Gambling he continued will be on the east Side of Vir ginia St north of Second as far as Commercial Row On the west side of Virginia gambling will be Hundreds ile Mining Claims In Lyon County Court House Steps
