The Commission was charged with studying the need for revisions of the Zoning Code of 1933 and formulating recommendations for better coordination of the zoning procedures and practices of the Department of Licenses and Inspections, the Zoning Board of Adjustment, the City Planning Commission, and City Council. The Commission's work was finished in the fall of 1957 and resulted in a number of amendments to the Code.
