-2- 2. There is no documentation in present trends or historic fact that Lincoln Way West throughout most of its length will eventually be commercial. 3. That in the immediate vicinity of subject property there exists to the east, approximately 2,Ll.00 front feet of commer- cially zoned property, of which approximately 660 front feet are vacant; and that immediately to the west of subject property there exists approximately 5,000 front feet of commercially or industrially zoned property, of which 3,820 front feet are vacant. Ll. That all the property across Lincoln Way West from subject property is zoned and used for single family residence and that all the property south of subject property is zoned multi - family residential and used for single or multi - family purposes. 5• That a public school and a parochial school is under construction in the area and that the best land use surrounding schools is residential. 6. The Commission therefore found that there is clearly no.need for an additional commercial zoning in the vicinity in as much as the land commercially zoned within the city since 192LF and still not used for commercial purposes is a clear indication of the lack of need for additional commercial zoning, and that the existing and future use of the land would best serve the general welfare if said land were used residentially. It was therefore duly moved, seconded and unanimously carried that the petition be recommended unfavorably to the Common Council, due to the above six findings, there being no substantial change in conditions since the filing of the original petition. Very truly yours, CITY.P NING COMMAISSION Ro rt L. Huff, Director- Secretary RLH/mah Attach.
