Evansville Planning Commission considers commerical "RR" district on Exchange St;

At the Evansville Planning Commission meeting on Monday night, in open session, John Sornson, 4th Ward, suggested that in light of the fact that there are some 21 small lots on each side of the railroad tracks on Exchange Street, or 42 total lots that measure about 50ft by 50 ft, that there be created a special commercial district so these properties could be developed and revenue brought in to the city.

The Evansville City Planner, Tim Schweeke, handed out a diagram of the lots, and indicated that some small commerical applications would be appropriate and that the lots of course would be combined and were held by various owners.

Two of the council members agreed to sponsor such a motion to propose such a district and the issue was sent to drafting of ordinance stage.

The Observer will keep you informed of the progress on this ordinance.
