5 Criteria (per IC 36-7-4-603): <br />1. Comprehensive Plan: <br />Policy Plan: <br />City of South Bend -City Plan, November 2006 <br />Economic Development Policy ED 4.2 Encourage the formation of regional clusters of <br />companies and institutions. <br />The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plans economic policy. <br />Land Use Plan: <br />City of South Bend -City Plan, November 2006 <br />The Future Land Use Map identifies this general area as a Regional Commercial Node. <br />The rezoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Map <br />2. Current conditions and character: <br />The site is currently vacant land. The area is commercial in character. <br />3. Most desirable use: <br />The most desirable use for the site would be commercial or office uses. <br />4. Conservation of property values: <br />The surrounding residential properties values to the south may be effected. <br />5. Responsible development and growth: <br />It is responsible development and growth to allow the expansion of existing commercial nodes, <br />while maintaining a buffer to protect adjacent residential areas. <br />Recommendation: <br />Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that the petition <br />be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation subject to written <br />commitments: 1) No access to McErlain Street or Elkins Street. 2) The southern 180 feet of the <br />site be restricted to OB Office Buffer uses and development standards. 3) No controlled uses <br />allowed with the development. <br />Analysis: <br />Prior to September of 2005, the southwest portion of this site was zoned SF1, with the <br />northeastern portion zoned OB. In September of 2005, the OB zoning was successfully <br />petitioned to CB. The SF1 district essential remained in place, with written commitments to <br />protect the residential properties to the south. The land uses to the south of the petition area have <br />not changed since the rezoning in 2005. .The staff also recognizes the expansion of the <br />commercial area along Douglas Road. However, the staff feels by limiting the southern 180 feet <br />of the development to OB Office Buffer uses and development standards, along with the required <br />residential buffer yard and landscaping, the surrounding residential areas should be adequately <br />buffered, while at the same time providing appropriately zoned -property for commercial <br />development. <br />Hartman's Douglas Road Trust Agreement and Snelson's Douglas Road Trust Agreement <br />#2444-07 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
