(~ t ~ ~- <br />~ ~ ~ b ~ ~~ <br />South Bend <br />4th Floor, County-City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: A proposed ordinance of Yakira Mcleod & Sheila Stroud to zone from SF2 Single Family <br />and Two Family District to MU Mixed Use District, property located at 2013 Ford Street, <br />City of South Bend, as tabled - APC# 2496-08 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />I hereby Certify that the above referenced ordinance of Yakira Mcleod & Sheila Stroud was <br />legally advertised on Thursday, February 5, 2009 and that the Area Plan Commission at its public <br />hearing on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 took the following action: <br />Upon a motion by John McNamara, being seconded by Donna Chamblee and <br />unanimously carried, the proposed ordinance of Yakira Mcleod & Sheila Stroud to <br />zone from SF2 Single Family and Two Family District to MU Mixed Use District, <br />properly located at 2013 Ford Street, City of South Bend is sent to the Common <br />Council with a favorable recommendation. The commission would not normally <br />support Mixed Use zoning, in the middle of a residential area. However, in this case, <br />the commercial building exists. and there is mixed use zoning throughout the area. <br />The conversion of this building to a residential use could be difficult and the building <br />is still desirable for a small, neighborhood oriented business. The rezoning could <br />result in a positive investment in the neighborhood. <br />The deliberations of the Area Plan Commission and points considered in arriving at the above <br />decision are shown in the minutes of the public hearing, and will be forwarded to you at a later <br />date to be made a part of this report. <br />Sincerely, <br />C~!,.
