<br />Mr. Myers further advised that the purpose of this rezoning is to eliminate spot zoning, to create a
<br />more orderly residential and commercial development, and to allow for the properties to be
<br />compatible with the adjacent uses. A site plan is not required for rezonings initiated by the Common
<br />Council.
<br />The Area Plan Commission, at its Public Hearing held on October 15, 2002, sent this petition to the
<br />Council with a favorable recommendation. While the Commission recognizes that further work will
<br />need to be done along this corridor in order to achieve overall zoning appropriateness, this rezoning
<br />represents a positive first step in that direction. By bringing zoning districts into conformance with
<br />the dominant use of certain areas along the corridor, this rezoning should have a positive effect on
<br />the corridor and surrounding neighborhoods. At this time, Mr. Myers provided a visual overview
<br />of the areas to be rezoned.
<br />Mr. John Oxian, 742 Sancome Street, South Bend, Indiana, made the presentation for this bill.
<br />Mr. Oxian advised that he is the Chairman of the Landmarks Committee for the Lincolnway West
