ARLA .PLAN - COMMISSION of ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, IN RICHARD S. JOHNSON Executive Director ROBERT W. SANTE Assistant Director 1140 COUNTY-CITY BUILDING, SOUTH BEND, IN. 46601 (219) 235-9571 FAX (219) 235-9813 MILL. / s- ?3 August 18, 1993 The Honorable Common Council City of South Bend County-City Bldg. - 4th Floor South Bend, IN 46601 RE: A proposed ordinance and site development plan of Adeline Wigfall Jones to zone from "A" Residential, "A" Height and Area to "C" Commercial, "A" Height and Area, property located at 1131 W. Washington, City of South Bend - APC #1542-93 Dear Council Members: The above referenced ordinance and site development plan of Adeline Wigfall Jones was legally advertised on August 5, 1993. The Area Plan Commission at its public hearing on August 17, 1993, took the following action: Upon a motion by Willie Morgan, being seconded by Joseph Serge and unanimously carried, the proposed ordinance and site development plan of Adeline Wigfall Jones to zone from "A" Residential, "A" Height and Area to "C" Commercial, "A" Height and Area, property located at 1131 W. Washington, City of South Bend is sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation, subject to a final site development plan. This property is currently the site of a commercial business, and had been zoned commercially in the past. The West Washington neighborhood rezoning project down-zoned this and a number of other similar parcels to "A" Residential, though recogmzing the need for some commercial activity in the area. A decision was made to handle each of these existing businesses on a case by case basis as the need to rezone the parcels arises. In the Commission's opinion, the proposed request to allow the expansion of the existing business is not unreasonable in this case and should not be detrimental to the goals of the West Washington rezoning project. The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above decision are shown in the minutes of the public hearing, and will be forwarded to you at a later date to be made a part of this report. Attached, for your consideration in the review of this matter, is a copy of the Area Plan Commission's Staff Report. Sincerel , Richard S.
