FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE)— The City of Fort Wayne is beginning the process of rezoning much of the properties along South Calhoun St.

According to city officials, UC is a zoning classification that allows for and encourages mixed uses with a focus on neighborhood-oriented commercial and personal services. The classification is relatively new (developed in the early 2000s) and is the result of collaboration with local business associations.
