PARAGRAPH (e) TO SECTION 10,03 OF
ARTICLE X OF THE CITY OF LIVONIA
ZONING ORDINANCE, AS AMENDED. RE:
PETITION NO. 72-4-6-9
The foregoing Ordinance, when adopted, is filed in the Journal of Ordinances in the
office of the City Clerk and is the same as if word for word repeated herein.
The above Ordinance was placed on the table for consideration at the next regular
meeting of the Council.
By Councilman Bennett, seconded by Councilman Milligan, it was
#340-73 RESOLVED, that having considered a communication dated April 6,
1973 from the City Planning Commission, as well as a communication dated
October 3, 1972, which sets forth its resolution No. 9-243-72 with regard
to Petition No. 72-7-1-36, submitted by Patrick Duggan, Attorney for
Robert Saks Mechigian for a change of zoning on property located south of
Seven Mile Road, east of Melvin in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 11, from
R-5, R-1-A and P.S. to C-2, and the Council having conducted a public
hearing with regard to this matter on December 11, 1972, pursuant to
Council resolution No. 969-72, the Council does hereby reject the recom-
mendation of the Planning Commission and the said Petition No. 72-7-1-36
is hereby denied for the following reasons:
13689
1. The proposed zoning change provides for high
intensity commercial uses that will be detri-
mental to the surrounding and established
residential neighborhood uses of the area.
2. The proposed zoning change will provide for an
increase in intensity of land use that will cause
an increase in commercial traffic to use an
unimproved street.
3. The proposed zoning change will bring heavy
commercial uses immediately opposite the
front yard of residentially developed property
and it will diminish their continued residential
use and enjoyment.
4. The proposed zoning change is inconsistent with
the Livonia Mall Master Land Use Plan in that
the proposed area of the zoning change was to
be a transitional and buffer area to be developed
principally in office uses so that to provide the
separation between the commercial uses located
to the east from the residential uses located
along the west side of Melvin Avenue.
5. The proposed zoning change will encourage the
continued westward expansion of commercial
uses along Seven Mile Road and will tend to
convert other residentially zoned and developed
land to commercial uses.
6. The proposed zoning change will discourage
the orderly growth and development of the
surrounding area and will tend to diminish the
Master Land Use Plan recommendations for
the balance of the lands fronting along Melvin
Avenue and immediately to the south of the area
under petition.
