Staff Report 10/5/2018 <br /> The proposed use as a group residence and an adaptive reuse of a currently vacant <br /> structure should not affect adjacent property values. <br /> (3) The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is <br /> located and the land uses authorized therein; <br /> The proposed use would be consistent with the mixed-use character of the surrounding <br /> properties. <br /> (4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive <br /> Plan. <br /> The proposed use is compatible with City Plan, South Bend Comprehensive Plan(2006) <br /> Objective H 1: Ensure that an adequate supply of housing is available to meet the needs, <br /> preferences, and financial capabilities of households now and in the future. <br /> Staff Comments: <br /> The staff would note that the immediate area has a mix of buildings that could be adapted <br /> for a variaty of uses, as the market dictates. It is a transitional area, making it difficult to <br /> determine the ultimate, long term use of the property. Since the requested use has a <br /> temporary life span, it would not be inappropriate to reconsider at a future date the <br /> rezoning of the site to another zoning district <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Based on information available prior to the public hearing,the staff recommends sending <br /> this petition to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. <br /> Analysis: <br /> Rezoning the site to MU Mixed Use District would allow for the establishment of a group <br /> residence and the adaptive reuse of and abandoned property. <br /> APC# 2879-18 Page 3 of 3 <br />
