January 29, 1981 Mr. Kenneth Mills, President Members of Common Council & Mrs. Jo Ellen Trimble, City Clerk Municipal Building Richmond, Indiana 47374 Re: Ordinance No. 5-1981 Plan Commission Case PC-81-4 Dear Mr. Mills, Members of Common Council and Mrs. Trimble: The Richmond City Plan Commission conducted a public hearing on Tues- day, January 27, 1981, on its own petition seeking to amend Article 14.06 of the Zoning Ordinance. Article 14.06 as presently written specifies that newly annexed terri- tory shall become a part of the R-1 zoning district upon annexation as a temporary zoning classification, and that the Plan Commission shall recommend to Council a final zoning plan for the area within six (6) months of the annexation. The proposed amendment rewrites Article 14.06 to read as follows: 14.06 Property Not Included: In every case where property has not been spec' ically included within a district, the same is hereby declared to be in the R-1 District. During the public hearing, no one spoke in opposition to or in favor of the petition. The Plan Commission considered the following facts in making their determination: 1. with the acquisition of the two mile fringe jurisdictional area, Article 14.06 as presently written is no longer func- tional as newly annexed territory would necessarily be situated in the fringe area where the final zoning plan has already been established. 2. The proposed amendment uould eliminate redundant paperwork and public hearings. Mr. Kenneth Mills, President Members of Common Council January 29, 1981 Page Ttao Therefore, the Plan Commission voted ten (10) to zero (0) to recommend that Ordinance No. 5-1981 be approved.
