REPORT OF CITY PLAN COMMISSION Honorable Common Council City of South Bend South Bend, Indiana July 9, 1956 Attached petition of C. A. More to zone property located at 2112 Mishawaka Avenue from "B" Residential to "C" Com- mercial use was legally advertised under date of 25, June, 1956, and public hearing held by your Planning Commission on 5 July, 1956. Relative'to the petition the Commission found that there existed an adequate amount of commercially zoned -frontage on either side of Mishawaka Avenue from subject property east to Thirty Second Second Street, a dis- tance of ten,blocks. The Commission further found that a considerable amount of the aforementioned frontage was not used commercially, thereby clearly demonstrating the lack of need, on a neighborhood or community basis, for additional commercial frontage. The Commission further found that in general the same condition as mentioned above exists three blocks to the west of subject property wherein commercial frontage extends for approximately nine blocks. The Commission found that subject property was now used residentially and that petitioners desire to continue said usd'and, in addition, to erect a building on subject property which would be used commercially, which action would result in two principal uses on the same lot. This would be in conflict with the theory and intent of the zoning ordinance. The Commission further found that the granting of the ordinance zoning property to commercial would be an unwarranted, unnecessary, and unneeded intrusion into a residential area. It was therefore duly moved, seconded and unanimously carried that the petition be recommended unfavorably. Very truly yours, CITY PLANNING COMMISSION /s/ ROBERT L. HUFF RLH :mk Director of Planning Councilman Kroll made a motion that the report be accepted and placed on file. Motion seconded by Councilman HAn. Motion car`fied.
