South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Me ting - March 20, 1981 5. PUBLICIHEARING (continued) activi ies that are currently functioning in that area. We alsc have "C" zoning which will be established along Monroe Street, running from the alley west of Carroll Street all the way through to Fellows Street. Originally in our submittal of the plan, we had "C" zoning that ran along Lincolnway as well. We are recommending to the Commis ion that that be withdrawn and instead we expand the "B' residential zoning over to Lincolnway. We feel that t e establishment of "B" zoning will serve to en- hance loth the Monroe - Sample area as well as the Edge- water teighborhood located east of Lincolnway. We think that t e expansion that might be possible under "C" Com- mercial zoning would challenge the residential character of bot the Edgewater Neighborhood and Monroe- Sample Nei ghbc rhood. Mr. Ni tz asked Mr. McMahon to stop at this point and ex- plain he difference between "B" zoning and "C" zoning so tha everyone present would understand. Mr. Mc dentia Those sional These reside Lincol Street purpos the ov constr allows there, hood a to "C" "C" zoi we fee' Monroe• imports mercia' especi opporti hood tl resides to say feelin, mercia' visabi' ahon explained that "B" zoning allows for resi- use with some business use in the neighborhood. ypes of uses would be along the lines of profes- offices such as doctors, dentists or insurance. ypes of activities are normally found mixed with tial developments. Perhaps the properties along way and certainly along Monroe just off of Michigan would be utilized for those types of business s. What we are trying to stay away from would be rall clearing of property that may result in the ction of a strip center or some sort of service/ ial establishment along that line. The "B" zoning for certain business activities to take place along but it is compatible with a residential neighbor - d that is the reason we have extended "B" as opposed ing allows for amore expanded commercial usage, and that in order for both neighborhoods (Edgewater and Sample) to continue to survive and flourish, it is nt not to completely enclose Monroe- Sample with com- activity. We also feel that the Lincolnway area, lly up by Monroe Street, will provide us with an nity to develop a real entrance into the neighbor - at is visible to people. When we talk about that tial development, we would like people in South Bend yes, we drive past it and we see it, as opposed to that it is all enclosed and hidden behind a com- area. We think it gives the residential area some ity which will be very healthy for the area.
