The proposed rezoning of 501 S. Parry St. from SF2 to CB <br /> Community Business District may not be considered compatible with the vision of the Master <br /> Plan. <br /> Staff Comments: <br /> If Henry Street, as proposed by the Howard Park Neighborhood Master Plan becomes a reality, <br /> then the public purchase of this site is probable. Parry Street is a residential street,and should not <br /> be used as direct access for business uses. <br /> If the rezoning is approved,several variances from the development standards will be required. <br /> Commitments: <br /> None proposed. <br /> 5 Criteria(per IC 36-7-4-603): <br /> 1.

The vision of the plan is to support residential development on and around <br /> the former TRANSPO site. This plan has not been adopted by the Area Plan Commission <br /> or Common Council but it was approved by the neighborhood. <br /> 2.
