Filed in Clerk's Office <br /> Staff Report-PC#0204-24 APR 1 6 2024 4115/2024 <br /> Bianca Tirado <br /> Site & Context <br /> Land Uses and Zoning: <br /> On site: On site is a paved parking lot. <br /> North: To the north is a neighborhood of one unit dwellings zoned U1 Urban Neighborhood 1 <br /> district. <br /> East: To the east is a residential neighborhood zoned U1 Urban Neighborhood 1 district. <br /> South: To the south is a small commercial building zoned NC Neighborhood Center district. <br /> West: To the west across William Street is a recently built laundromat zoned NC <br /> Neighborhood Center district and a residential neighborhood zoned U2 Urban <br /> Neighborhood 2. <br /> District Intent: <br /> The U1 District is established to provide for, promote, and maintain urban neighborhoods located <br /> in core and outlying areas of the City. <br /> Site Plan Description: <br /> The site plan shows the relocated house on the lot. The main entrance will face Navarre and <br /> access to a future garage will be via existing curb cut on William Street. <br /> Zoning and Land Use History and Trends: <br /> The neighborhood was largely established in the late 1800's-early 1900's as a walkable urban <br /> single family neighborhood consisting of single family homes with the occasional duplex primarily <br /> accessed by rear or side alleys. <br /> Traffic and Transportation Considerations: <br /> Navarre Street is a brick two-way street with on-street parking. <br /> Agency Comments <br /> Agency Comments: <br /> There were no agency comments. <br /> Staff Comments: <br /> This parcel has been vacant since at least the mid-1960's and once had two dwellings on the <br /> property. The Poledor House being moved to this lot from 211 W Marion Street will blend well <br /> with the character and scale of the existing neighborhood. The majority of the homes in the <br /> adjacent area were built in the late 1800's to early 1900's and this home, built in 1913, will fit <br /> seamlessly into the historic Chapin Park neighborhood. Also, with its location in a fairly walkable <br /> urban neighborhood that is close to a major corridor and its businesses, transit, and downtown, <br /> this property is well suited for U1 zoning. <br /> Criteria for Decision Making <br /> Per State Law, the Plan Commission and Common Council shall pay reasonable regard to: <br /> 1. Comprehensive Plan: <br /> Policy Plan: <br /> The petition is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, City Plan (Amended 2022) <br /> Objective H2.5: Pursue alternatives to the demolition of structurally sound housing. The parcel is <br /> being rezoned to allow for the relocation of a historic house for use as a single family dwelling. <br /> Land Use Plan: <br /> The Future Land Use Plan identifies this area for Medium Density Residential. <br /> SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 4 of 5 <br />
