Wayne Street <br />City of South Bend <br />RE UESTED ACTION: The petitioner is requesting a zone change <br />from "D" Light Industrial, "E" Height and Area <br />to "A-3" Mixed Use, "E" Height and Area to <br />allow a single-family residential use, office <br />uses, and educational uses/art studio. <br />EXISTING LAND USE• The property currently contains commercial <br />structures. <br />SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: Located to the north are single-family homes <br /> zoned "B" Residential, "B" height and area; to <br /> the east are commercial businesses zoned "D" <br /> Light Industrial, "E" height and area; to the <br /> south are industrial uses zoned "D" Light <br /> Industrial, "E" height and area; and to the <br /> west across Notre Dame Avenue are <br /> single-family homes and duplexes zoned "B" <br /> Residential, "B" height and area. <br />ACCESS: Access to the site is from both Wayne Street <br /> and Notre Dame Avenue. <br />WATER SOURCE/SEWAGE DISPOSAL: Water and sewer are available to the site. <br />DRAINAGE: The drainage has not been addressed by the <br /> petitioner. <br />SZTE DATA• The total site to be rezoned is 35,432 square <br /> feet. Of that, the buildings will occupy <br /> 10,256 square feet, or 29 percent of the site; <br /> the parking and drives will occupy 23,426 <br /> square feet, or 66 percent of the site; and <br /> 1,750 square feet or 5 percent of the site <br /> will remain as open space. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: A check of the Agency's maps indicates that no <br /> public wells, flood hazards, wetlands or <br /> environmental hazard areas are present. <br />SITE PLAN• The site plan is preliminary. <br />AGENCY COMMENTS: <br />PRELIMINARY <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Based on information available prior to the <br /> public hearing, the staff recommends that this <br /> petition be sent to the Common Council with a <br /> favorable recommendation, subject to a final <br /> site development plan. The proposed rezoning <br /> to "A-3" Mixed Use represents a downzoning and <br /> will be more compatible with the residential <br /> area to the north and west than the industrial <br /> uses that could be developed under the <br /> existing "D" Light Industrial zoning. <br /> However, it must be noted that many changes <br /> and improvements may need to be made to the <br />
