ATTEST:
BEFORE THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
CITY OF BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS
IN RE: APPLICATION OF CITIZENS FINANCE CORPORATION
On the 3rd day of November, 1970, Citizens Finance
Corporation, owners of the following described property
situated in the City of Batesville, Arkansas:
Fractional Lots 5 and 6 in Block 56
of the School Addition to the City of
Batesville, Arkansas.
requested the City Planning Commission to rezone the above
described property from a Residential Zoning District
classification R-2 to a Commercial Zoning District
classification C-2; that notice of the hearing was had
by publication in the Batesville Guard on the 7th day
of October, 1970, and proof of publication of said notice
has been filed with the Commission in the form and manner
required by law; that the Commission finds that the
property is situated so that it is best for use as
commercial property and to allow the classification of
residential property to remain would result in a large
financial loss to the petitioners; that at the present
time the property that is adjacent to this property is
being used for commercial purposes under rezoning order
earlier made by this Commission; that the ultimate plan
and program of the City Council and the City Planning
Commission will not be prejudiced in any way by the pro-
posed change and that the change would be to the best
interest of not only the petitioners but to the City of
Batesville, Arkansas.
That this is the first application filed by
the petitioners for proposed change; that the petitioners
have paid the fees as required by law for the filing of
same; and the finding of the Commission is that the classi-
fication should be changed from R-2 residential to C-2
commercial as asked for in the petition.
It is therefore recommended by the City Planning
Commission of the City of Batesville to the Batesville
City Council that the request of the petitioners be
granted and that the classification be changed from R-2
residential to C-2 commercial and that an appropriate
ordinance be passed by the City Council bringing the
change requested into effect.
Respectfully submitted,
CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
