The Area Plan Commission gave it a public hearing on <br />March 20, 1979, at which time the following action was taken: <br />"Upon a motion by Earl Ki.me, being seconded by Rene Vandewalle and unanimously <br />carried, the ordinance initiated by Mary Chris Adams requiring that proposed <br />rezonings in the City of South Bend be advertised by common address and that <br />the property have a public notice posted thereon, City of South Bend, %s <br />returned to the Common Council with an unfavorable recommendation for the <br />following reasons: the higher residential density of city neighborhoods <br />usually insures a ripple effect of neighbors notifying one another; the <br />Area Plan Commission notifies one of the twenty neighborhood groups that a <br />rezoning petition has been submitted; signs usually do not last long once <br />on a location; and should the Plan Commission approve this petition, it <br />should not be an ordinance, but rather a resolution." <br />The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered In <br />arriving at the above decision are shown in minutes of the public hearing and will <br />be forwarded to you at a later date to be made a part of this report, Attached <br />for your consideration in the review of this matter is a copy of the Area Plan <br />Commission Staff Report, <br />Very truly yours, <br />Richard Johnson <br />Executive Director <br />RSJ /bsj <br />Attachment <br />cc: Mary Chris Adams <br />Serving: South Bend, Lakeville, New Carlisle, North Liberty, Roseland & St. Joseph, County, IN <br />
