David Stanton, Area Plan Commission with offices on the 11th floor of the County-City Building, stated, The petitioner is requesting a zone change from SF-2, Single-Family and Two-(2)-Family, to CB, a Community Business district. They are also seeking two (2)variances to meet development standards. To the east, south and west of the site are lots all zoned CB. Mr. Stanton then showed pictures from the presentation(which is available in the City Clerk's Office)that capture the view of the site from different angles. Mr. Stanton continued, The three point two (3.2) acre site is proposed to be divided into two (2) development sites. Parcel A is one point six six (1.66) acres. The proposed plan for the site includes a 7,616 square foot bank with three (3) drive-thru lanes. The preliminary site plan meets the requirements for all landscaping per the ordinance. Parcel B is one point five two (1.52) acres. This site is reserved for future development with no specific plans submitted at this time. That site will need to meet all the development standards for the CB District. This site is part of the vacated Single-Family residential area that remains after the realignment of Main Street and Lafayette Street. This comes to you from the Area Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation. Rezoning this CB would allow for the expansion of an existing commercial district established in the commercial node located adjacent to the intersection of Michigan Street, State Route 31 and Ireland Road. Mr. Danch stated, I am representing the petitioner. This is the Gates Property. This is actually one of the last pieces on Ireland Road west of SR-31 that is still zoned residential. United Federal Credit Union would like to go on the west side of the property, which is what you see here. What we're asking to do is to take the entire piece of property and zone it to the CB District. This is about a 7,000 square foot Credit Union facility. Access will be off of Ireland Road and Lafayette Street. We did get two (2) variances from the Area Plan Commission meeting. One (1) of them was for the queuing area for the drive-thru lanes. The other one (1) was going from forty-one(4 1)parking spaces down to thirty-four (34) spaces. All the landscaping will meet City standards as well.
