Frisbie, et al, to rezone Lots 1, 2 and 3 of Riversale 1st Addition from B Residence District to C Commercial and D height and area districts was given legal notice under date of June 21st and public hewing by the Planning Commission under date of July 1, 1954. These lots located southwest corner Mishawaka and 36th Streets. It is recommended that this petition be denied for the following reasons: 1. The granting of petition would be an intrusion into a residential distri et. 2. It would tend to promote strip zoning along Mishawaka Avenue as opposed to consolidated shopping districts. 39 85% of the frontage on Mishawaka Avenue between Ironwood Drive and 34th Street is now zoned for commercial use; therefore, there is no justifiable need for additional Commercial use to serve the immediate community. City Planning Commission (Signed) Robert L. Huff, Secretary Councilman Hahn moved that the report of the Planning Commission be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Niezgodski seconded the motion. Motion carried.
