Mr. Kostner sSated he did not believe Section G, nursin~
homes and convalescent f~cilities should be in ~he R-3 ~one
because there are hospitals, medical and dental offices,

M~. Lambert ststed that his feelings on Sections C, D, E, F,
and G was that they possibly should be left in with conditional
uses. Mr. Ryder replied that he tried to assess this as far
as practical a~d feasible and believes they should take out
commercial aspects. ~. Lambert explained how a possible
location may b~ in conflict. However, he cannot see objections
to having hotels and motels in the R-3 zone. He further ex-

M~. Annunziato stated that the City has provided enough pro-
perty for hotels and motels in Boynton Beach without includ-
ing them in R-3. They do not need any more zoning for hotels
mhd motels and have probably exceeded the requirement. Chair-
man Eelly agreed. M~. Lambert replied that he did not. He
agrees that acreagewise there is possibly adequate C-3, but
he does not agree with reference to the locations. He ex-
plained how he felt the place to put motels and hotels was
