In other business, the Cambridge Citizens for Liveable Neighborhoods filed a petition with the council that would restrict the number and type of zoning variances granted Cambridge.
The petition asks for a new subsection to the Zoning Ordinance that would not permit variances to be issued in all residence and open space districts. If adopted, the change would make it more difficult for commerical establishments to be set up in residential areas.
At a meeting of the City Council last night, Councillor Francis H. Duehay '55 explained amendments that slightly tone down zoning changes suggested in the group's original petition.
The East Harvard Square Neighborhood Association decided to call for compromise zoning after realizing that their chances of pushing their original petition through the council were slim, petition author Terry Crystal said in an interview last night.
HRAAA--which nominates candidates through petition drives--has always relied on highly public media campaigns. They announced this year's slate at a press conference at Bok's Mass Hall front door, and have already mailed letters to some 35,000 alumni.
