REGULAR MEETING REPORT OF CITY PLAN COMMISSION The Honorable Common Council City of South Bend, South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: September 8, 1956 1172 SEPTEMBER 10th, 1956 The attached petition of John Sokol, et al, to zone Lots 112, 113, and 114 of Walnut Second Addition, situated on the northwest corner of Prairie Avenue and Nash Street to "C" Commercial and "D" Height and Area District, was legally advertised under date of August 27, 1956. Said petition was given public hearing on September 6, 1956, and the following action was taken: After due consideration, the Commission found that the favorable recommendation of the petition would result in unwarranted extension of strip zoning; that ample land, both vacant and developed, existed in the immediate vicinity, and that said land was now zoned commercially. The Commission found that the existence of this considerable amount of vacant land zoned commercially was a very clear indica- tion that no additional commercially zoned land in the vicinity was needed or desirable. The Commission found that the favorable recommendation of the petition would be an unwarranted intrusion into a residential area, and that the public welfare would best be served through continued residen- tial use of the petition property. It was therefore duly moved, seconded and unanimously carried that the petition be recommended un- f avorab-:ly . Very truly yours, CITY PLANNING COMMISSION Robert L. Huff, Director RLH:aed Attachment Councilman Kroll moved that the report be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Muszynski seconded the motion. Motion carried.
