PETITION 1-0 AREA BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION SPECIAL EXCEPTION Seekinu: Special Exception to allow a Community Center in a "SF2" District. In addition, this project is seeking a variance approval to allow for a reduction of parking from the approximate 273 parking spaces to a parking count of 116 spaces, which includes both existing and new parking spaces. Additional parking needs are met through the use of on-street parking. REASON FOR REQUEST(S) When the building was originally construction and when a new building addition was constructed in 1997 the property was zoned Commercial. In 2004 the property was rezoned as "SF2"which then reclassified the existing building as a non-conforming use. APPROVAL STANDARDS 1. The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: the project consists of existing building renovations and an addition to better serve the community by providing additional programming space. 2. The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or property values therein because: the project consists of the renovation and addition to an existing community building. 3. The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which is located and the land uses authorized therein because: the project will enhance an already existing community recreation facility 4. The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the City of South Bend Comprehensive Plan because: it meets the Public Facility and Community Assets goal to "Provide efficient and progressive public facilities and services that accommodate future growth and meet the community's changing needs". 10-10-20171 Filed in Clerk' `fir uV [CANT SIGNATURE Dat - Chris ockley OCT 112017 Name KAREEMAH FOWLER CITY CLERK,SO ITH BEMrD. 1NI 2
