TO: The Honorable City Council
IN RE: City Council Order 164-M Request for zone change from a
Residence "B" Zone to General Business Zone at 395 Center Street
SITE
Please be advised that the City Planning Board has given careful
consideration, and held a public hearing, on the above request for a
zone change and would respectfully recommend that this request be refused.
The Planning Board also gave consideration, at the request of the
applicant and with regard to the number of residents in this area that
were present at the public hearing, to a similar request for a zone
change for the abutting property immediately to the north known as 399
Center Street, and would also respectfully recommend that this request be
refused.
The Board based their decision on the following factors:
I. This area Is a well-preserved residential area and such a
commercial encroachment would decrease properly value and
be a cause ofspreading blight throughout the neighborhood.
2. Many of the surrounding properties have deed restrictions
confining the use of the land to residential development.
3. Mary Snow School is directly across Broadway from the two
lots in question and the development of gasoline service
stations on this land could only increase the traffic
hazards to the school children.
4. This request Is for "spot zoning" a procedure that, if It
were permitted, would soon lead to the breakdown of the
entire Zoning Ordinance.
S. The entire area was recently reviewed by the Board in
connection with the total revision of the Zoning Ordinance,
and If was recommended that no change be made In this block.
2.
The Honorable City Council
July 27, 1960
6. A large number of residents of the immediate neighborhood
appeared in opposition to both proposed zone changes.
