GOUNGIL TO DISCUSY GITY ZONING PLAN Subject Will Be Brought Up at Wednesday’s Meeting Councilman Arthur G, Crusberg's city zoning proposition, submitted to the common council at its last meet- ing and tabled for printing in the, | minutes, will come up for action at next Wednesday's session of the com- mon counci when, it is expected, it will be referred to the city plan com- mission for consideration. It is proposed to have the com- mission prepare ordinances to be submitted at the October meeting of the common council and the city will be divided into districts, the riain sub-divisions being factory, | business and financial, and residen- tial. 3 Will Need Survey Appropriation. " Adoption of a zoning idea will ne- cessitate a complete survey of the city. This will involve the expendi- | ture of some money, the amount of | which the second ward councilman | Suld not state at this. time, and it | Will be necessary to have a special | appropriation for that purpose, there being no money available at this | time. Chairman Edward F. Hall of the | board of finance and taxation is in- terested in the movement although he states he has not gone into it | thoroughly enough.to express an | opinion as to whether it warrants a | survey appropriation, but he stated last night that he can see consider- able merit in zoning. Mayor A. M. Paonessa and members of the com- mon council are also actively inter- ested ns are numerous civic bodles, | all of whom Councllman Crusberg | has been in close touch with in the | preparation of his report to the council and the gathering of a large amount of interesting material per- | taining to zoning. He has also been | in touch with Senator Challenger of Bridgeport, relative to the system | employed in that city and has/ re- | ceived promises of data. r As explained by Councilman Crus- berg, zoning is the application of common sense and fairness to the R | public regulations governing the use|J of private real estate. It is an ef- fort to provide each neighborhood with the protection and privileges | that are sensible in that particular | dlstrict, creating civic pride by cre- ating confidence in the justice and stability of the protection afforded; | it gives everyone who lives or does business in a community a right to enjoy hs rights, yet protects him from unreasonable injury from his neighbor. While zoning is a very important part of city planning, the council- man explains, it should go hand in rand with planning streets and pro- viding for parks, playgrounds, etc, as alone it offers no universal pana- cea for municipal ills, but as a part of a larger program plays an impor- tant part in bringing quick returns to the city and its citizens. . A properly zoned city works for efbnomy as there are no “blighted” dlstricts. A “blighted” district is one originally planned for a residen- tial section but into which stores, junk yards, factories, etc, have crept until values begin to deterio- rate and property owners begin to sell at losses to unload. The cost of these risks is pald for by tenants of those ‘who must take the risk. The Cleveland City plan commission re- cently made an announcement that, owing to haphazard city growth hgindreds of perfectly good buildings go to the dump each year. Answering the objection some- times raised that zoning is not legal, Mr. Crusberg points out that it is nothing but a reasonable exercise of the police powers and “for the pub- lic health, safety and welfare.” Crusherg’s Program. Councilman Crusberg today out- lined the procedure that he would urge in zoning New Britain, as foi- lows: 1t would be necessary to secure passage by the legislature of an en- abling act to allow the city to go on with a program. This, he explains, difficult as the le ously looked upon able light and has special enabling acts. The city plan commission, if that body is agreeable, would then pro- ceed with the work, considering not only present conditions, but also ten- dencles of growth, probable changes and improvements, relating to the| transportation system, including | streets, street railways and other lo-| cal passenger transportation, railroad freight and passenger service and | water borne commerce, if any.

Conditions Differ in Cities, A zoning ordinance needs to be| based on a comprehensive and de- tailed study of precise local condi-| tions, both present and prospective,| What fits one city or town may be a/ bad misfit for another. There is no! short cut to good zoning in any com- munity through blindly acceptlng; munity. The only safe path s a thorough open-minded examination of the facts in each community as to| existing uses, existing destinies and| heights of bulldings, the customs of the peopfé and the trend of affairs, In every city there are citizens and organizations having in their posses- fson valuable knowledge of local con-! ditions. These have a large contribu- | tion to make to those responsible for| zoning although those who have lived' their whole lives in a community do | not necessarily realize all' that {s going on about them. The zoning of a city requires ex- pert professional knowledge just as the presentation of a case in court re- quires legal training. But just as a lawyer depends upon the layman to' secure his facts, so must the profes- slonal zoning expert call upon good citizens for much of the accurate in- formation upon which any good zon- | ing regulations must be based. * The practice of zoning Is relatively| new in America. Those who have had experience tend to hecome expert, | with broader knowledge of practices that are proving effective. These men | are becoming gradually more skilled in the methods of getting at the es- sential facts of any local situation and in the interpretation of those facts, If| they possess insight and sane judg-| ment thelr advice becomes increasing- | 1y valuable, what has been done for another com- !t A zoning ordinance consists of one or more maps dividing the city into different kinds of districts; and a statement of methods of regulation to be employed 4n each district in re- gard to the use to which property! may be put, the helght and size of buildings, and the amount of space to be left vacant, with adequate pro- vislons for enforcement, Common Sense and Fairness, In the process of drafting a (onU\- ive ordinance it {s {important by | means of a full public dscussion, to be sure that the ordinance is an “ap- plication of common sense and fair- ness,” and will “provide each district, as nearly as practicable with just such protection and just such liberty as are sensible in that particular dis- triet.”” It is essential llkewise to be sure that public opinion, as a whole, will support it. A zoning ordinance is of value only as it is properly enforced. Because of the difficulty in making with pre- cision the forecasts on whigh it is based, its operation should be closely followed by those who most intimate-| Iy understand the reasons for its pro- vislons, Thus, Improvements and ad- justments may from time to time be| made intelligently, It is to furnish in exceptional cases a means for rem- edying possible injustice that, in some states, of adjustments and appeals, It is obvious from the nature of the case that, even if zoning or- dinances were drawn with super- human perfection, time and the natural growth of the community| might show the need for modification.
