A mixed use development containing both residential and commercial components would not be out of character in this neighborhood. The proximity to the University of Notre Dame, high density residential projects in the area, the commercial at Edison and South Bend Avenue and the new Innovation Park building are driving the need for a walkable, commercial-style development. PLEASE NOTE that the Ordinance has been amended by the petitioner and is different than that used for the Common Council's first reading. The amended Ordinance was legally advertised and heard by the Area Plan Commission. The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above decision are shown in the minutes of the public hearing, and will be forwarded to you at a later date to be made a part of this report.
