REGULAR MEETING MAY 8, 2006 <br />desirable use would be for a “LI” Light Industrial use. The impact on surrounding <br />residential property values should be minimized with property landscaping. It is <br />responsible development and growth to locate light industrial uses adjacent to other <br />industrial uses and rail lines that are served by municipal water and sewer. Based on <br />information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that this petition <br />be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. The rezoning is for <br />the expansion of the Bosch facility. It is compatible with the adjacent industrial land use. <br />It is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan economic development policy. Lastly, <br />landscaping will help buffer the surrounding neighborhood. <br />Mr. Bernie Feeney, Lang, Feeney & Associates, Inc., 715 South Michigan Street, South <br />Bend, Indiana, made the presentation for this bill. <br />Mr. Feeney advised that he is representing the City of South Bend along with the Bosch <br />Corporation to request that the property in question be rezoned from SF2 Single Family <br />and Two Family District; and GB General Business to LI Light Industrial District. This <br />rezoning will allow for the expansion of the Bosch Corporation Campus. <br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents <br />and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. <br />There being no one present whishing to speak to the Council either in favor of or in <br />opposition to this bill, Councilmember Varner made a motion for favorable <br />recommendation to full Council concerning this bill as substituted.
