enforcement of the parking lot landscaping requirements contained at §§ 157.143(A),
157.143(B) and 157.143(C) of the City of Fort Wayne Code of Ordinances ("Code"); and
Whereas, Common Council members Crawford, Hines and Talarico have listened to and
considered the complaints of the business owners and have reviewed §§ 157.143(A),
157. 143(B) and 157.143(C) of the Code and have made a determination that such
requirements are unnecessarily burdensome on our local businesses and that deletion of the
requirements is the best method of addressing the problem; and
Whereas, the Common Council supports the general proposition that private business owners,
not government employees or politicians, are in the best position to make basic business
decisions regarding trees, shrubs, flowers and landscaping located on their own private
property; and
Whereas, the Common Council further recognizes that § 157. 143(D) of the Code should
remain intact and unmodified since the Common Council does not desire to impact the general
screening and buffering requirements set forth in § 157.122 of our Code, which are in place to
protect immediately adjacent residential neighborhoods .
NOW THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOL YED BY THE COMMON COUNC~ OF
THE CITY OF FORT WAYNE, INDIANA:
Section 1. The Common Council supports the red tape reduction and customer service
initiatives of Councilmen Crawford, Hines and Talarico, and supports their efforts to work
with local businesses, city employees and the general public to review local rules and
procedures to help Fort Wayne become a business friendly community.
Section 2. The Common Council respectfully recognizes that the current zoning laws were
crafted with the good faith intention of benefitting and protecting the citizens of Fort Wayne,
but that in some instances, laws have become unnecessarily burdensome to local businesses
and are negatively impacting our local economic development climate .
Section 3. The Common Council specifically recognizes that the requirements of §§
157.143(A), 157.143(B) and 157.143(C) of the Code are unnecessarily burdensome and such
requirements overly restrict our local businesses by preventing owners from making basic
business decisions regarding their own private property. .
