Book Description

Excerpt from The Cleveland Zone Plan: Report to the City Plan Commission Outlining Tentative Zone Plan for Cleveland Zoning will centralize local business in well defined local business centers. This will facilitate the transaction of business. It will improve land and rental values in the business sections, while at the same time conserving values in the residence sections. Zoning will keep the apartments out of the private house sections. The coming of the apartment drives out the private home. Only by setting definite limits to the spread of the apartment can the city be preserved as a city of homes. Zoning will prevent congestion of popo lation. In addition to confining tenement house construction to certain areas, zoning will prevent excessive crowding even in the tenement areas. This will be accomplished by requiring a minimum number of square feet of lot area for each family for which the tenement is arranged.
