SECTION 3: That the re -zoning is based upon these findings, made pursuant to
section 6-3-4-5 of the Zoning Ordinance:
a. The subject property is adjacent to 01/oRD zoning to the north and to R1
zoning to the south and east. CTA tracks abut the subject property to the west.
This map change, therefore, represents an extension to the south of the
01/oRD zoning district.
b. The Comprehensive General Plan designates this property as "office working
area." The rezoning is consistent with this designation.
C. The rezoning will not have an adverse effect upon the value of adjacent
properties in that all of the properties which can be developed have been
zoned 01.
d. Adequate facilities exist to service the subject site and surrounding properties.
No new public services or improvements to the City's infrastructure will be
needed.
SECTION 4: That all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are
hereby repealed.
SECTION 5: That this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its
passage, approval, and publication in the manner provided by law.
