While no building type will be required, the development <br /> will meet all other zoning standards. <br /> (5) The variance granted does not correct a hardship caused by a former or current owner <br /> of the property. <br /> The variance is driven by the programming of the site. The building types defined in the zoning <br /> ordinance do not speak well to a project of this nature, which meets the intent of the ordinance <br /> for an S2 Suburban Neighborhood 2 zoned parcel. <br /> Analysis & Recommendation <br /> Commitments: There are no commitments proposed at this time. <br /> Analysis: Zoning this property to S2 Suburban Neighborhood 2 will allow for a use that is compatible <br /> with the built form and use of surrounding properties. The programming of the site will result in <br /> buildings which do not fit well within the defined building types in the zoning ordinance, though <br /> the development meets the intent of the ordinance for an S2 Suburban Neighborhood 2 zoned <br /> parcel. <br /> Recommendation: Based on information available prior to the public hearing, the staff recommends the <br /> Plan Commission approve the development variance and send the rezoning petition and use <br /> variance to the Common Council with a favorable recommendation. <br /> SOUTH BEND PLAN COMMISSION Page 5 of 5 <br />
