UNFINISHED BUSINESS Memorandum to City Planning Commission: Reason for rejection of Amendment to Zoning Ordinance requesting a change from Classification A residential to C -1 Commercial near the intersection of Ironwood and McKinley. Reason one -- The overwhelming number of remonstrators in the immediate area which classification has been established as A residential. The lack of sufficient legislation to support Plan Commission in long range planning and to hold petitioner responsible -to carry out plans submitted to the Plan Commission to obtain zoning desired. Many objections to zoning changes have been raised on the point that the building and its ufse as represented by the petitioners may not be objectionable in the neighborhood, but the owners and the petitioners are not bound by their representation and any other use permitted in the district can be put in after such changes are made. District X should be provided with a limitation that would permit building the structure represented in or in connection with the petition for a change and to the particular occupancy represented by the petitioner at the hearing. There should be a time limit placed on the development of the project after which the zoning classification should revert to that which existed before the change. The zoning change should be limited to the area originally planned after a survey has been made of the area to be serviced to obtain the proper amount of commercial zoning required. Commercial areas should be established as much as possible before adjacent area is occupied by higher class of zoning. SOUTH BEND COMMON COUNCIL (Signed) WALTER C.
