Seek 10 Amend
.zoning Rule

Recognizing the acute housing
situation caused by the impact of
Immigrant labor for the war pro-
duction program, the city plan
commission has recommended 10
the common council an amend
ment Of the Zoning ordinance
which will permit the temporary
conversion Of stores and similar
commercial buildings for housing
purposes. This revision Will au-
thorize the issuance of permits for
this purpose by the building de-
partment without the necessity
of passing through the board of
appeals. Any such permit will
terminate at the end of the emer-
gency or when the council so
elects, and the converted building
must then be restored TO its orig
inal condition.
The proposed changes would au-
thorize the building department TO
issue permits for changes in oc-
cupanCy of existing non-cOnform-
ing retail store buildings from
one class of retail4Store or office
use 10 another similar use in the
same general class, not likely TO
prove more undesirable TO the
neighborhood. The change would
also authorize the board Of zonfng
appeals TO approve other changes
in occupancy eligible in the same
or more restricted zoning district,
less detrimental or Objectionable
to contiguous property and the
neighborhood.
These changes, If approved by
the common council, will place the
Detroit ordinance in line with
similar regulations in other cities
and will tend 10 allow a reasonable
use Of existing non-conforming
structures during period of
amortization which may be later
established. NN'.
