HOLLADAY PROPERTIES Building Solutions Since 1952 ..v.,.,._ ,,_...,. ,.._`~ 227 South Main Street Suite 300 South Bend Indiana 46601 PHONE (574) 234-2073 FAX (574) 284-3790 The operation of the gymnastics facility will take place within their demised premises and will not adversely affect the value of any neighboring properties. Most of the children who will attend this facility can not drive and will be supervised by a parent, coach, or instructor at all times. The Gymnastics Studio is a specific use listed as a special exception within the Light Industrial zoning classification, and this building will need that exception in order for this group to operate out of the facility. Also, the reduction in required parking spaces from 640 spaces to 40 spaces will not cause any undue harm to the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare. Currently, Elite Sports only has 5 employees, and there are only 2 or 3 gymnasts who are old enough to drive themselves to practice. Most of the traffic is for pick-up and drop- off of the gymnasts. The parking requirement should be viewed in the same light as a child care use which requires 1 parking space for every employee with an additional 3 parking spaces available. The proposed use is consistent with the character of the uses within this district and is listed as an acceptable use for this space within the ordinance. Finally, the proposed use is consistent with the recommendations compiled in the South Bend City Comprehensive Plan, and will not detract from the character of this area or the rest of the City. The current zoning classification for this property is: Light Industrial The property is located in: German Township G. Ameriplex Ceptre Partners, L.P.
