It is also <br />consistent with the West Washington-Chapin Plan (1991), which is to shift land use to single <br />family in order to strengthen the residential character of the neighborhood. The rezoning would <br />be an extension of the northern and southern "SF2" Single-Family Residential Districts. It is <br />compatible with the surrounding single family houses. <br />South Bend Heritage Foundation <br />#2360-06 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
