M? -, John Foorde F- -bruai ,, 10, 2010 Page _ building would be available to patrons. We do not believe that the requested reduction of the project area, or reduction of the number parking spaces available in the second phase parking lot frnir� 93 to 5 1 � will have an adverse. in-s.pact upon d7e project, Tlecre will he 254 parking spaces in the initial construction phase south of Wester .Avenue, 12 more spaces than we have estimated are necessary for the facility. If the property we are now requesting be deleted from the rezoning petition area is later acquired by The Salvation Army, it is in a Mixed Use zoning district. Parking for the Kroc Center could be added without rezoning it. Including that area in the current rezoning petition is not necessary for later use as additional parking. Attached are copies of the required. petition documents revised for reduction of the rezoning area north. of Wester Avenue. The Salvation Arrny has not yet completed acquisition of the property. We will ask the three remaining owners of the property to sign the revised rezoning petition application. Due to the meeting schedule of the South Bend Park Board, we will not have signed, revised petitions for the Area Plan Commission hearing, but we expect to have them before the rezoning is decided by the Common Council. Included with the revised petition are signed copies of three agreements with owners of other parking facilities in the vicinity of the Kroc Center indicating their willingness to allow the Kroc Center to use their parking lots for a special event that might exceed the parking available at the Center. Not all of those agreements were signed when the original petition was submitted. The Salvation Army requests that the City proceed with the rezoning process with a slightly reduced area to be rezoned, and a revised site plan. A few other minor revisions and clarifications have been made at the request of the Area Plan Commission staff: If you have any questions regarding the petition, or this request, please contact me.
