ZONING IN ON METHADONE CLINIC

Ricky Leong is quite right when he says the logical course of action 
is for the city to waive the $130,000 rezoning fee so that the 
methadone clinic can stay where it is. ("Addicts deserve second 
chance," April 14.) Another question is why it costs anything. Why 
doesn't council just pass a special exemption for the clinic and 
leave the zoning as it is? Isn't this the sort of thing our council 
should do out of common sense and what is right for the community?
