Land Use Plan: <br />City of South Bend -City Plan, November 2006 <br />The Future Land Use Map identifies this area as Medium Density Residential. <br />The rezoning conflicts with the Future Land Use Map. <br />2. Current conditions and character: <br />The site is currently a paved parking lot. The area is a mixture of residential, office and mixed <br />use in character. <br />3. Most desirable use: <br />The most desirable use for this property is office or mixed use. <br />4. Conservation of property values: <br />The surrounding property values should be conserved with the rezoning because of the buffering <br />required by the zoning ordinance. <br />5. Responsible development and growth: <br />It is responsible development and growth to allow infill development on underutilized property in <br />the downtown area. <br />Recommendation: <br />Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that this petition <br />be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. <br />Analysis: <br />The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding land uses. The office zoning and its <br />associated use would help buffer the residential area to the east from the mixed use area to the <br />west. The required landscaping and residential bufferyard should provide an acceptable buffer <br />between the proposed development and the adjacent residential area. <br />~$~~Ge <br />Fi~~a, <br />~``'~ ~ <br />River of Life Family Church, Inc. <br />#2456-07 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
