WRITTEN STATEMENT The reason for the petition is we are trying to get a special exception to allow for automobile sales in a CB District. We would like to bring back some life to a corner that has been dormant for sometime now. We have already cleaned up the property on the outside and we are currently working on the inside of the building as well. We would like to have the capability of selling some late model cars. I don't believe we will have too many cars at any given time as to make the property look bad in any way. The main reason for the purchase of the property was for the capability of auto sales as well as the repairs and did not know that the location was not zoned for the car sales. If we are allowed a special exception, 1. The proposed use will not be injurious to public health, safety, comfort, community moral standards, convenience or general welfare because there will be no hazardous items stored on the premises; 2. The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or property values therein because business that is up and running is better for the property values than having property that is vacant in the area; 3. The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is located and the land uses authorized therein because there will be some landscaping done to continue with the beautiful new sidewalks and curbs in the area; 4. The proposed use will be compatible with the recommendations of the City of South Bend Comprehensive plan; all of which is requested by the South Bend Municipal Code #21-09.03(1).
