news story appeared in the Mon
day morning local newspaper,
in which Durham Community
House was played up as a re

w City Council, Monday night, or
dered city attorneys to seek a
civil injunction against the op

the operations are not permit
ted in the zone in which the
home is located.
The order is said to have
been based on the fact that the
operations are not in compli
ance with the zoning ordinanc

the area was zoned for “one
family residential*’ and the op

authority that the zone permits.
The home is located at 901
S. Duke St. The house has
come in for much criticism,
according to the news story,
due to the fact that many of the
