Staff Report 12/5/2012 <br /> property lines to providing no screening; <br /> 10)from providing a 6 foot wide landscaping area along the South facade of the existing building <br /> to landscaping as shown; and <br /> II) from providing parking screening for the parking along Indiana Avenue to landscaping as <br /> shown. <br /> A portion of Indiana Avenue will be dedicated from the southern portion of the parcel. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends that the petition <br /> be sent to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation and that all the variances be <br /> approved. <br /> Analysis: <br /> This rezoning will facilitate the expansion of an existing business in an area under transition, an <br /> area which very well may see redevelopment activities that support the businesses that will locate <br /> in Ignition Park. Given the current location of the building and that the angles of the lot lines and <br /> road are not straight, development on this lot would be difficult without these variances. Even <br /> though property to the north and west is zoned residentially, this area is in transition, given the <br /> number of buildings demolished since the 2011 aerials were taken, and may not need to be buffered <br /> as if a house were present. <br /> APC# 2657-12 Page 3 of 3 <br />
