The Area Plan Commission, <br />at its May 20, 2003 Public Hearing, sent this petition to the Common Council with a favorable <br />recommendation. He noted that the "CB" Community Business District is a zoning district from <br />the forthcoming South Bend Zoning Ordinance. Because of its higher development standards, this <br />district will aid the City in better regulating future large scale commercial developments more <br />effectively than any district in the current ordinance. ■ <br />
