HUFF <br />DIRECTOR OF PLANNING <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA <br />CITY PLANNING COMMISSION <br />-QW12 <br />July 9, 1956 <br />Honorable Common Council <br />City of South Bend <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />Gentlemen: <br />Attached petition of C. A. More to zone property located <br />at 2112 Mishawaka Avenue from IIBII Residential to "C" <br />Commercial use was legally advertised under date of <br />25 June, 1956, and public hearing held by your Planning <br />Commission on 5 July, 1956. Relative to the petition <br />the Commission found that there existed an adequate amount <br />of commercially zoned frontage on either side of 1,1ishawaka <br />Avenue from subject property east to Thirty Second Street, <br />a distance of ten blocks. The Commission further found <br />that a considerable amount of the afore mentioned front- <br />age was not used commercially, thereby clearly demonstrat- <br />ing the lack of need, on a neighborhood or community <br />basis, for additional commercial frontage. The Commission <br />further found that in general the same condition as men- <br />tioned above exists three blocks to the west of subject <br />property wherein commercial frontage extends for approx- <br />imately nine blocks. The Comussion found that subject <br />property was now used residentially and that petitioners <br />desire to continue said use and, in addition, to erect a <br />building on subject property which would be used commer- <br />cially, which action would result in two principal uses <br />on the same lot. This would be in conflict with the theory <br />and intent of the zoning ordinance. The Commission fur- <br />ther found that the granting of the ordinance zoning <br />property to commercial would be an unwarranted, unneces- <br />sary, and unneeded intrusion into a residential area. <br />It was therefore duly moved, seconded, and unanimously <br />carried that the petition be recommended unfavorably. <br />RLH:mk <br />Very truly yours, <br />/�CI'I'i�- - :dIidG /COvi'iIIS3I0� <br />i <br />t L. Huff <br />Director of Planning <br />
