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.
