REPORT OF CITY PLAN COMMISSION
Honorable Common Council
City of South Bend
South Bend, Indiana
Gentlemen:
August 5, 1955
The attached petition of Colpaert Realty Corporation to rezond 20 acre parcel of land located in vicinity of
Ford Street and Lombardy Drive was legally advertised under date of July 25, 1955, and given public hearing on
August 4, 1955.
This petition 'to rezone would, in effect/remove commercial land next to the Pierre Navarre School, said land
reverting to residential use, and increase desirability of commercially zoned land by the addition of Tracts
A and B.
The Board found that the general welfare would be served by the granting of the petition, that a public school
serves residential land uses and is far better located on a site which is surrounded by said residential uses,
as opposed to commercial or industrial uses. It was, therefore, moved, seconded, and carried that the petition
be favorably recommended to the Council.
Very truly yours,
CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
