El Lago City Council voted to table action on proposed amendments to the city's zoning ordinances that were recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, which met in joint session with the city council Monday night. A major item of controversy was an amendment that would allow the "minor" repair work on antique automobiles at facilities that are permitted to sell them, "as long as the repair is accomplished within the confines of an enclosed facility and does not include the outside storage of automobiles under repair or the storage or dismantling of old or wrecked automobiles." Citizens expressed concern that automobile repairs could create excess pollution, noise, light, traffic, and other distractions. The city council voted to table a proposal to prohibit dancing at El Lago businesses. The Planning and Zoning Commission had voted in favor of the ordinance. The city council voted to table action on an agreement with Municipal Code Corporation to add a link listing city ordinances to the El Lago web page. All other agenda items were approved. All city council votes were 5-0. The two and one-half hour city council meeting was the longest in the city's history.
